New York - Woolworth Building

The Woolworth Building was the Gothic headquarters Frank W. Woolworth's department store chain. Designed by Beaux Arts architect, Cass Gilbert, the building has touches of gargoyles, flying buttresses, a pyramid roof and a high glass-tile mosaic ceiling. It's a mix of twentieth-century structure and fifteenth-century Gothic detail. At 792 feet, the Woolworth was the tallest building in the world when it opened in 1913.
