NEW SKYSCRAPER, Woolworth Building Will 2 th Sec ond Tallest Office Building. Overlooking the low, squat city hall of New York there Is being reared an other wonder of modern architecture a forty-five story office building, tower ing C25 feet alcove the levei of the street. It will bo the Becond tallest of flee building In the world, the tallest being the Metropolitan Life tower (700 feet), itself the tallest structure in the world next to the Eiffel tower. In area the new tower will be greater than the Metropolitan, fur it will be eighty -six f ect ., square at the base, whereas th latter measures 74 feet by 83 feet The main building upon wM the tower will rest will rise to a heiiit of twenty -six stories. The tower prop er will begin from there and continue on for nineteen . stories. ' Its top will Notice to Contractors, Treasury department, office of the supervising architect, Washington, D.

The location of the new structure, which Is to be known as the Woolworth build ing, is the southwest comer of Broad way and Park place. The ground npon which It will stand was acquired at a cost of $2,000,000, and Iris estimated that the building itself will cost ap proximately $5,000,000. . Like many of the more modern sky scrapers in New York, the Woolworth building will seek to apply old recog nized forms of architecture to new con dltlons.' The architect has discarded the familiar renaissance type and will treat the facade in Gothic. He be lieves be has worked out a design that will stand as. an example of the archi tectural possibilities in lofty steel con struction. -In order to support the tre-' mendoua weight of forty-five stories i' will be necessary to carry the fouuda-' tions down td bedrock, a depth of prob ably 100 feet below the street. Among other things, the plan calls for a large Bwlmmlng pool In the base ment, and It is likely that there will Also be a gymnasinm.
