EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1913, showcases the awe-inspiring Woolworth Building in Manhattan, New York City, NY, USA. Located at 233 Broadway and 23 Park Place, this architectural marvel stands tall at 55 stories and reaches a height of 348 meters, making it the tallest building in the world at the time. Designed by architect Cass Gilbert, the Woolworth Building is a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the early 20th century. The building's distinctive design is characterized by its ornate Gothic Revival style, with its pointed arches, decorative terracotta detailing, and intricate stonework. The building's base is adorned with a series of arches, reminiscent of a cathedral, while the upper stories taper inward, creating a striking silhouette against the Manhattan skyline. The Woolworth Building was not only a symbol of architectural innovation but also a symbol of progress and prosperity during the 1910s. Its construction marked a new era in skyscraper architecture, paving the way for the towering structures that would come to define the New York City skyline. This photograph captures the building in its early years, before the surrounding cityscape had fully developed. The image reveals a quieter, more serene Manhattan, with the barren land surrounding the building offering a stark contrast to the bustling metropolis that would come to occupy the space. The Woolworth Building remains an enduring symbol of American ingenuity and architectural prowess, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into its storied past.
