Woolworth Building's 'Cathedral of Commerce' height record

Designed by Cass Gilbert and completed in 1913, the Woolworth Building at 233 Broadway stood about 792 feet tall and was the tallest building in the world from 1913 until 1930. It was nicknamed the 'Cathedral of Commerce' for its ornate neo-Gothic design and served as the Woolworth Company's headquarters. The structure is a designated New York City landmark and remains a prominent example of early skyscraper architecture.
