I believe that the top of the building was meant to be a blimp dock, or whatever you would call a place that zeppelins park.

Got little use.

Here is an extensive video featuring the building. Comparisons to the Hindenburg start at the 34:38 mark, showing it as complete fantasy. I don’t remember if the video explores the docking of smaller blimps, but my impression was that it is not possible and the building was never intended to do so.
