Description:

Gaze at vaulted ceilings adorned with ornate mosaics, walk in warm light filtered through amber stained glass, and admire the reflections of a highly polished marble floor. Explore the amazing interior of the historic Woolworth Building on this immersive tour of its neo-Gothic architecture.

Meet your local guide—an architecture buff well-versed in the intricate details of the Woolworth Building’s history and construction—and enter the private front doors. Inside, look up to see incredible mosaics of blue, green, and gold, framed by stone archways beset with elaborate ornamental additions. Stroll around the main lobby as you listen to intriguing anecdotes about the building’s architect, Cass Gilbert, who completed the elegant edifice in 1913.

Look for hidden features as you wander on your own in all 3 areas of the main lobby, examining the gilded elevators, snapping photos of the magnificent mailboxes, and uncovering the deepest colors of the stunning marble walls. For those who opt for more expansive tours, move on to take in views of the lobby from atop the mezzanine while listening to more details about the interior design, and enjoy a side trip to the lobby's lower level before wrapping up your day.
