Great image and yes it was once the world's tallest. My most profound memory of the Woolworth Building was being on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade late on the night of 9-12-01 and seeing the entire top third of the Woolworth Building completely obscured by the massive plume of smoke emanating from the ruins of the (also once the world's tallest) WTC and heading at that particular moment toward north Brooklyn and Queens. The F16's roared and the people trembled.

Was pretty close to that spot way back in May of '02
Looks like the infill building behind the Woolworth is a another building site now.
