The Woolworth Building

Officially opening April 24th, 1913 (108yrs ago, today), this is an early American skyscraper designed by architect Cass Gilbert and located in lower Manhattan, New York. Amazingly, it was the tallest building in the world from 1913 to 1930, with a height of 792 feet (241 m) and still remains one of the 100 tallest buildings in the US.

Bonus points go to the one that can name (in comments below) which famous skyscraper stripped the Woolworth Bldg of title in 1930…no cheating.
