21/50.- New York, Woolworth Building

Oh ... the Woolworth Building!!! One of my favorite buildings in town. Amazing is the only word that comes into my mind to describe it.

This Neo-Gothic style skyscraper was built between 1911-1913 for Woolworth’s, a retail company. According to legend, the banks did not want to finance the project so Frank W. Woolworth had to pay the $13 million that the building cost in cash. Woolworth’s was the tallest building in the world for 17 years.

If you are a millionaire looking for a new residence, you may buy one of the building's luxury condominiums.
