- The 792 feet, 1 inch tall Woolworth Building was the world's tallest skyscraper from 1913-1930, when it was surpassed by 40 Wall Street and the Chrysler Building.
- No longer occupied by Woolworth, which went out of business in 1998.
- NYU now has facilities on some floors, and a number of upper floors are slated for residential conversion.
