Presentation of the Woolworth Building, the tallest building in the world from 1913 to 1930, designed by the architect Cass Gilbert in a neo-Gothic style. More than a century after its construction, it remains one of the 100 tallest buildings in the United States. "The Woolworth Building has been called "The Cathedral of Commerce" - a monument to small things, yet is even more - it is the colossal and enduring gift to civilization of a true-born, patriotic American, Frank W. Woolworth, and it stands unique in the history of great buildings throughout the world in that it is without a mortgage or dollar of indeptedness. Mr. Woolworth paid for this gigantic structure from start to finish from his own resources ..." (text). Last page with a biography of Frank W. Woolworth (1852 - 1919). Wrapper very slightly foxed otherwise a good, clean copy.
