The Woolworth Building, at 233 Broadway, Manhattan, New York City, designed by architect Cass Gilbert in the neo-Gothic style commissioned in 1910 to design a 20 story office building as the F. W. Woolworth Company's new corporate headquarters on Broadway, between Park Place and Barclay Street in Lower Manhattan, opposite City Hall. Originally designed to be 420 feet high, the building was eventually elevated to 792 feet. At its opening, the Woolworth Building was 60 stories tall and had over 5, 000 windows. The construction cost was US$13.5 million. More than a century after the start of its construction, it remains one of the 100 tallest buildings in the United States as well as one of the 30 tallest buildings in New York City. It has been a National Historic Landmark since 1966, and a New York City landmark since 1983. Photographed by the Detroit Publishing Company, 1913.
