Excerpt from Dinner Given to Cass Gilbert, Architect In the banqueting-hall the eight hundred guests leaped to their feet with an irrepressible cheer. Outside, in Broadway and historic City Hall Park, the thousands who had been patiently awaiting this mo ment, first gasped, then shouted their admiration, as the wonderful Woolworth Building sprang into full view against the blackness of the night. Standing there, gazing up, up, up to the summit of the sixty storied edifice, towering in silent majesty and en thralling beauty over the lesser, but still impressive, piles of lower Manhattan Island, not one among the multitude of fascinated onlookers failed in that awe inspiring instant to understand why the President of the United Sates had consented to participate in the opening ceremonies. It was, after all, something far more than a mere office-building at which they were gazing. It was the highest and one of the most beautiful structures ever erected for the daily occupancy of man - the highest structure of any sort in the world, excepting only the Eiffel Tower in Paris - and it was a structure erected on American soil, in accordance with thefiashmi to President Wilson in Washington a tele graphic message, announcing that everything was in readiness for him to open the building.

Once the world’s tallest skyscraper, the Woolworth Building is noted for its striking but incongruous synthesis of Beaux-Arts architecture, fanciful Gothic ornamentation, and audacious steel-framed engineering. Here, in the first history of this great urban landmark, Gail Fenske argues that its design serves as a compelling lens through which to view the distinctive urban culture of Progressive-era New York. Fenske shows here that the building’s multiplicity of meanings reflected the cultural contradictions that defined New York City’s modernity. For Frank Woolworth—founder of the famous five-and-dime store chain—the building served as a towering trademark, for advocates of the City Beautiful movement it suggested a majestic hotel de ville, for technological enthusiasts it represented the boldest of experiments in vertical construction, and for tenants it provided an evocative setting for high-style consumption. Tourists, meanwhile, experienced a spectacular sightseeing destination and avant-garde artists discovered a twentieth-century future. In emphasizing this faceted significance, Fenske illuminates the process of conceiving, financing, and constructing skyscrapers as well as the mass phenomena of consumerism, marketing, news media, and urban spectatorship that surround them. As the representative example of the skyscraper as a “cathedral of commerce,” the Woolworth Building remains a commanding presence in the skyline of lower Manhattan, and the generously illustrated Skyscraper and the City is a worthy testament to its importance in American culture.
