1913 · The Woolworth Building Opens as the Tallest Building in the World
At 792 feet above Broadway, the Woolworth Building became the tallest building in the world and held the record for 17 years. The Woolworth Building was overshadowed by the Chrysler Building at 1,046 feet in 1930 and the Empire State Building at 1,454 feet in 1931. Retailer and mogul Frank W. Woolworth commissioned the Woolworth Building in 1910 with the intent of his namesake building to be the tallest in the world. The 13 million dollar project was financed in cash by Woolworth which allowed him freedoms in the design and construction of the ornate, gothic building. An opening ceremony was held on April 24, 1913 at which President Woodrow Wilson pressed a button from the White House and lit the historic building in New York City.

Name Meaning
English: nickname, occupational name perhaps for a wolf hunter, from Middle English binden ‘bind’ + Middle English (Old French) loues ‘wolves’. Plurals are most unusual in phrasal nicknames. The more regular singular form occurs in the name of John Byndeloue, 1327 in Subsidy Rolls (Suffolk), for which see Bensley , and is synonymous with Truslove ( see Trussler ). The preposition in the 1302–3 example could alternatively point to a lost place-name but it is more likely to be a scribal error. The earliest examples are from the NR Yorks and WR Yorks border (Ripon, Sharow, and Langthorpe are almost neighbouring settlements), and the surname persisted in NR Yorks until the late 17th century, but its subsequent history belongs mainly to NW England, where it first appears in the previous century.
