List Of Tenants In One World Trade Center
The North Tower (also known as Tower 1, Building One or 1 WTC) was one of the twin towers of the original World Trade Center in New York City. It was completed in 1972, standing at a height of 417 metres (1,368 ft), and was the tallest building in the world until being surpassed by Chicago's Sears Tower in 1973. It was distinguishable from its twin, the South Tower, by the 110-metre (360 ft) telecommunications antenna on its roof. Including the antenna, the building stood at a total height of 527 metres (1,729 ft). The building's address was 1 World Trade Center, with the WTC complex having its own ZIP code of 10048.
The North Tower and its twin were both destroyed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001; the North Tower was the first tower to be struck, at 8:46 a.m EDT, and the second tower to collapse, at 10:28 a.m. Of the approximately 3,000 people killed in the attacks, over 1,300 were in or above the North Tower impact zone. The North Tower was replaced by the present One World Trade Center tower, which will open in 2013 as the lead building of the redeveloped World Trade Center site.

“I made a list of things I have
to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”
—Linda Pastan (b. 1932)
“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“In a world of universal poverty
The philosophers alone will be fat
Against the autumn winds
In an autumn that will be perpetual.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Though in the trade of war I have slain men,
Yet do I hold it very stuff o’ the conscience
To do no contrived murder. I lack iniquity
Sometimes to do me service.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
