Woolworth Building, Gothic Revival skyscraper in Tribeca, Manhattan, United States.
The Woolworth Building rises 792 feet with 57 floors, featuring white terracotta facades and thousands of windows along its exterior walls.
Frank W. Woolworth commissioned architect Cass Gilbert in 1910 to create this structure, which remained the tallest building worldwide from 1913 to 1929.
The structure earned recognition as the Cathedral of Commerce, establishing a new standard for corporate architecture in early twentieth-century New York City.
Located at 233 Broadway, the building contains 34 elevators and maintains office spaces in lower floors while upper sections house residential units.
The building features an elaborate lobby with sculptures and mosaics, plus a steel frame foundation that extends into Manhattan's deepest bedrock layers.
