Captured in the early 20th century, this photograph offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the architectural grandeur of a bygone era. The Woolworth Building, completed in 1913, was the tallest building in the world at the time, standing at an impressive 34 stories and 412 feet tall.
