WOOLWORTH BUILDING
A 57-story, 241-meter-high skyscraper with an ornate facade and a dazzling neo-Gothic lobby.
241 m high and 57 storeys high, this skyscraper had its moment of glory by becoming the highest in the world at its inauguration in 1913, and this until 1930. History tells us that the billionaire Franck W. Woolworth invested a modest $15 million for its construction, which he would have paid in small coins, nickels and dimes, set aside for the occasion. This building is known for its decorated facade, which evokes a Gothic waterfall. As for the entrance hall, in neo-Gothic style, it is dazzling.
