"I worked in this building for several years. Before then, I worked in another Wall Street area building for years where I could see the copper roof and all the Gothic gargoyles. It was the tallest building in the world from 1913 when it was finished until 1930 when the Chrysler building surpassed it. So I was excited when my company moved there. The lobby is beautiful. It is dark- the facilities manager explained that it tried to keep the original feel and to highlight the sunshine which came in through the stained glass windows. The inside is almost reminiscent of a church. In fact, I read that it was designed almost as a temple to modern commerce. That said, the offices in the building are old and not very well maintained. We had leaks and mold in our office. But for a visitor, it’s worth a visit. You must book a tour because it’s not open to the public."
"Spectacular landmark building by architect Cass Gilbert. This was the highest building in the world from 1913 to 1930, when it was replaced by the Chrysler Building (only to be replaced one year later by the Empire State Building). Elaborately detailed exterior and interior. The only serious bummer is that "tourists" are discouraged from exploring the beautiful lobby."
"One of the most striking skyscrapers of an early 20 century era along with the Empire State building and Chrysler. Terrific Gothic style high rise of a trade magnate close to NYC City Hall and its park, as well the Brooklyn bridge."
"The building itself is amazing, out of this world. Google the history, it is very interesting. I visited during the pandemic and was quite empty. The guards were incredibly rude, they would not let us take even one picture of the lobby from the entrance door. The low point of the visit, for sure. I managed to take one which I am uploading."
"This is historically the first skyscraper of New York City, the famous Woolworth Building. Very well maintained, with a touch of history and modernity. Guided tour is available for this place. I didn't know that photography wasn't allowed inside the building. I just took few pictures before I was stopped, which I'm sharing here."
