The F. W. Woolworth Company Building is a historic department store building located at 9th and Market streets in downtown Wilmington, Delaware. When a Woolworth's store, the building had two sales floors, the current ground floor and the basement. The escalators to the basement floor are still visible in the store. The building then housed a Happy Harry's drug store and pharmacy for several years until that company was purchased by Walgreen's in 2007. Walgreen's continues to operate the acquired Happy Harry's stores, including the Market Street store, under the Happy Harry's name.
Designed in the Aztec motif, the building has an orange and tan facade and a grey medallian with a raised "W" on the chamfered 9th and Market corner.
The building was purchased by a subsidiary of BPG Property Group in 2008. BPG has plans to renovate the building's upper floors and to add an additional two stories to the building for use as apartments.
