Woolworth Building 233 Broadway (1910-13)
A
romantic tower, resembling a large wedding cake. Built with nickels and dimes,
it was once the world's tallest building. It is a neo-Gothic masterpiece,
built by Cass Gilbert, and is clad in terra-cotta. The lobby is one of the most
magnificent of the 20th century, with a stained-glass skylight, marble walls,
bronze furnishings, and murals entitled Labor and Commerce.
