Woolworth Building

Here is a link to a page containing many photos of the Woolworth building from its completion in 1913 up until today. It is interesting to see that when it was completed the building was this sublime church-like structure reaching way up into the sky over all of New York, however; the more recent photos show it as more of just an average run of the mill building that has lost its sublimeness.


The Woolworth Building was seen as an immense, yet stunning, structure that drew the awe of many onlookers.


The building towered over Manhattan in the early part of the century.
