Farley General Post Office, the main facility for New York City, located across from Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan.[159] Mail there was held for pick-up by messenger, forwarded to the intended recipient, returned to its sender, or destroyed.[160]

World Trade Center (1973–2001) The original World Trade Center was a large complex of seven buildings in Lower Manhattan, New York City, United States. It featured the landmark twin towers, which opened on April 4, 1973, and were destroyed in 2001 during the September 11 attacks. At the time of their completion, the "Twin Towers"—the original 1 World Trade Center, at 1,368 feet (417 m); and 2 World Trade Center, at 1,362 feet (415.1 m)—were the tallest buildings in the world. Other buildings in the complex included the Marriott World Trade Center (3 WTC), 4 WTC, 5 WTC, 6 WTC, and 7 WTC. All were built between 1975 and 1985, with a cost of $400 million ($2,300,000,000 in 2014 dollars).[4] The complex was located in New York City's Financial District and contained 13,400,000 square feet (1,240,000 m2) of office space.[5][6]
