At one side
of City Hall Park the enerable Woolworth Building looks on. Money,
ornament and prestige mingle in the 1913 "Cathedral of Commerce," whose soaring,
graceful lines are fringed with Gothic decoration more for fun than any
portentous allusion.
Within, aulted ceilings ooze honey-gold mosaics - even the brass
mailboxes are magnificent.
The
whole building has a well-humored panache more or less extinct in
today's architecture.
