Woolworth Building by Night, New York, USA (1913): A Timeless Masterpiece of American Architecture Illuminated This photograph, taken in 1913, showcases the iconic Woolworth Building in New York City bathed in the ethereal glow of moonlight. Located at 233 Broadway, the Woolworth Building, designed by architect Cass Gilbert, was completed in 1913 and stood as the tallest building in the world at the time, reaching a height of 792 feet. The image captures the building's intricate details, from the ornate cornice adorned with gargoyles and grotesques to the large, arched windows that illuminate the night. The full moon, partially obscured by dark clouds, casts an otherworldly light on the structure, creating a striking contrast between the old and the new. The Woolworth Building was a symbol of the American spirit during the 1910s, representing both the country's industrial prowess and its architectural ambitions. It was also a testament to the vision of its namesake, Frank Woolworth, who made his fortune in the five-and-dime business and used his wealth to fund the construction of this architectural marvel. Today, the Woolworth Building remains an enduring symbol of New York City's rich history and a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the past. This photograph, taken over a century ago, continues to capture the imagination of viewers and serves as a reminder of the power of architectural design to inspire and captivate.
