New dates for our popular tours of the stunning Woolworth Building have just been added, starting next week, for the rest of the summer and fall! We’re excited to offer two ways to explore the inside of the normally off-limits Woolworth Building, our VIP Woolworth Building tour, held twice a month and led by building architect Cass Gilbert’s great granddaughter, Helen Post Curry; and our Special Access Tour of the Woolworth Building, which will provide the same special access to the building, and will be led by another guide on Tuesdays at 6pm.

MORE ABOUT THE TOUR:
The Woolworth Building is one of New York City’s most famous off-limits landmarks. Though its cathedral-like interior of glass and marble is landmarked, security concerns after 9/11 rendered it closed to the public unless you lived or worked in the skyscraper, once the tallest in the world. On our one hour tour of the normally off-limits Woolworth Building, we will visit its stunning lobby, mezzanine, and cellar level, where the bank vault still stands. Get a complete picture of the engineering feat and aesthetic masterpiece that the skyscraper is.
