The Woolworth Building is a historic skyscraper located in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Completed in 1913, it was designed by architect Cass Gilbert and stands at 792 feet tall, making it one of the tallest buildings in the world at the time. The building was commissioned by Frank W. Woolworth, a successful five-and-dime store magnate, and is often referred to as the "Cathedral of Commerce" due to its ornate Gothic architecture. The Woolworth Building features a distinctive green and gold terracotta façade and an impressive lobby adorned with intricate mosaics. It was the tallest building in the world until 1930 and remains an iconic symbol of early 20th-century American architecture. Today, it houses office spaces and is a designated New York City Landmark.
