From 1913 to 1930, this was the tallest building in the world.
Day 104
Woolworth Building
April 12th, 2012
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
It’s a beautiful building, the first time I saw it, I think I stopped and stared for a long time. Eventually, I made my way inside City Hall park, which is right across, so I can sit and stare some more.
My Mom worked in the Woolworth Building in the late 1920’s – early 1930’s.
