The One World Trade Center or the North Tower was one of the tallest buildings in the world before it was destroyed during the September 11, 2011, terrorist attacks. The world-famous Windows on the World restaurant was located on the tower’s 106th and 107th floors. Today, the Freedom Tower was built on the site. The memorial structure, which has a giant fountain, was designed by Architect David Childs.
