  Please, I'd like to know the meaning of the underlined words below:

The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in NY. 

Thanks,

The Empire State Building is a skyscraper in New York City.  It has 102 stories (floors).  Its archetectural style is "Art Deco", an artistic style which I think was popular in the 1930's.  I believe the name comes from the words "decorative art".  (Check the internet for further information.  I'm not an expert in styles of art.)
