Woolworth Building - History, Location & Key Facts 2023

The Basics

The Woolworth Building, which originally served as the company’s New York City headquarters, was the world’s tallest building for 17 years. Today it maintains a vintage charm that captures the elegance of early 20th-century design, and its spectacular lobby draws crowds of architecture admirers.

Many New York City sightseeing tours, helicopter tours, and architecture cruises pass by the Woolworth Building. To see the building’s lobby and lower level, you must book a guided tour. Pre-registration is required—walk-in guests are turned away—so purchase tour tickets in advance to ensure a spot.
