Woolworth Building
Dubbed the ‘Cathedral of Commerce’, the 241m white terracotta building was the tallest when it opened in 1913.
It was the headquarters of the Woolworth Corporation, whose founder, Frank Woolworth, made a fortune from the chain of ‘nickel and dime’ stores in which all the merchandise was originally sold for either 5 or 10 cents.
Many architect students regard the building as the pinnacle of achievement in the genre.
Its graceful lines are decorated with extravagant Gothic-style detail, and its lobby is not to be missed. Sculpted reliefs in the four corners of the lobby include one of Woolworth counting out nickels and dimes with which to pay the architect Gilbert, who has a model of the building in his arms.
