What secrets lie behind its towering limestone and terracotta façade? Now’s your chance to step inside one of New York’s most breathtaking interiors — a hidden architectural marvel that's been off-limits to the public since 2020 (until now). Join [New York Adventure Club](http://www.nyadventureclub.com "http://www.nyadventureclub.com") for an **exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the Woolworth Building** — commissioned by retail magnate Frank Woolworth in 1910 to house his company’s corporate headquarters, this neo-Gothic style skyscraper designed by architect Cass Gilbert laid claim to the world’s tallest building from its opening in 1913 until 1930. Led by licensed NYC tour guides and Woolworth Building experts Bob Gelber or Ed Welter, this official experience — **and the only way inside this private building** — will include: * **The story behind the “Cathedral of Commerce,”** from its creation by retail magnate F.W. Woolworth to its groundbreaking design by Cass Gilbert * **A look at the exterior’s intricate terracotta façade**, rich with neo-Gothic ornamentation and symbolic details * **A private tour of the soaring lobby**, with its marble-clad walls, vaulted ceilings, and hidden symbols embedded in the architecture * **A visit to the subterranean vault**, where the building’s original safe deposit boxes are tucked beneath its towering frame * **A special trip to the mezzanine balcony**, offering a close-up view of the vaulted mosaic ceiling, richly inspired by the opulence and patterns of the Byzantine Empire See you there! \*There are no public restrooms on the tour, so please plan accordingly \*\*This tour is limited to the lobby and first sub-level \*\*\*Please refrain from wandering around the lobby before, during, or after the tour **About Bob** After retiring from the New York State Court System, Bob Gelber became a licensed New York City tour guide to share his deep knowledge and passion for his hometown. Over the past twelve years, he has led visitors through neighborhoods many tourists overlook, while also serving as a docent at the Woolworth Building and volunteering at both the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Open House New York. A longtime member of the Guides Association of New York City, Bob has served on its Board of Directors and several key committees. From Central Park to the Lower East Side — and even chocolate-themed walks through SoHo — Bob brings history to life with every step. **About Ed** With over four decades of experience in construction and nearly 15 years in the tourism world, Ed Welter brings a unique perspective to New York City's built environment. After starting his guiding career at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in 2010, Ed went on to become a senior docent and trainer at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, where he has been sharing the site’s powerful story since its earliest days. A licensed NYC tour guide since 2012, Ed also led Woolworth Building tours from 2014 until their pause in 2020 — and is excited to return as the tour program resumes with New York Adventure Club. His deep knowledge and passion have guided countless tours across Lower Manhattan, from the Brooklyn Bridge to City Hall Park, including topics like the Five Points, the African Burial Grounds, and the history of terrorism in New York. **Testimonials** "The tour of the lobby was full of secrets and mysteries and astonishing design.

Perched above the Hudson in Fort Tyron Park, The MET Cloisters rewards a slow, observational approach--its pink Cuxa marble, carved capitals, vaulted chapels, and stained-glass windows offer some of the richest medieval textures in New York. Casual handheld photography is permitted inside the museum, but tripods, flash, and staged shoots are not, so plan to work mobile and discreetly. **PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES** **Technique Focus: Architectural Repetition & Negative Space** * The whole museum is built on rhythm--arches, columns, ribbed vaults, herringbone tile. * Use graphic minimalism, receding arcades, shadow play. **Human Scale & Storytelling** * A solitary visitor in a vast medieval space is a classic Cloisters image. * Silhouettes against stained glass. * Pre-compose in an archway or window. wait for someone to walk into the frame. **The Langon Chapel & Pontaut Chapter House** * Intimate, dim, vaulted spaces with carved doorways--the most "atmospheric" rooms in the museum. * Doorway frame-within-frame. Shoot from outside looking through the carved arch into the lit chamber beyond. * Vaulted ceiling. The ribbed vaults make graphic radial compositions. * Capital and corbel details. Pick capitals where a window throws raking light across the carving. **Articles to Review Before the Photo Shoot** * Architectural Details: [Architectural Details](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mh-daL_wKFRmb5l-OcChGe42_6EfhRxO/view?usp=drive_link) * Building Interiors: [Building Interiors](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PNwQtHZesIg31Q28vAKa-QyOSGeQrOnP/view?usp=drive_link) **Meeting Location/Event Hosts** Your host will be Doug along with several organizers.

Excellent presenter" -Sheila "The 2 hours went by so fast! David's droll delivery, all the back stories of the architecture and the really wonderful choice of buildings kept me engrossed.
