Until April of 1930, it was the Woolworth Building. Completed in 1913, the Woolworth Building was the tallest building in the world until it was surpassed by the Bank of Manhattan Trust building, now known simply by its address, 40 Wall Street.

The 40 Wall Street building was the tallest in the world only for a few short weeks, from the time of its completion in April 1930, until it was surpassed by the Chrysler Building, which was completed on May 28, 1930.

Like 40 Wall Street, the Chrysler Building also enjoyed the title of World's Tallest Building for a very short time. It was soon surpassed by the Empire State Building, which opened on May 1, 1931.
