In the center of this photo is the restored Winter Garden Atrium (the arched glass and steel structure). I took this photo when I visited the World Trade Center site, Manhattan, New York City in October 2004. The Winter Garden Atrium was so shattered and damaged by the debris of the falling Twin Towers on the tragic day of September 11, 2001, it was so good to see it looking like new once again. MORE INFORMATION ON THE WINTER GARDEN ATRIUM: The Winter Garden Atrium is a 10-story glass-vaulted pavilion on Vesey Street in New York City's World Financial Center. Originally constructed in 1988, and substantially rebuilt in 2002, the Atrium houses various plants, trees and flowers, and shops. The Winter Garden Atrium, along with the rest of World Financial Center, was designed by architect Cesar Pelli in 1985. Completed in 1988 at a cost of $60 million, the Atrium was originally connected to the World Trade Center via a 400-foot (122 m) pedestrian bridge that spanned the West Side Highway. The Atrium was severely damaged in the September 11, 2001 attacks but was rebuilt during the first year of the Financial Center's recovery. Reconstruction of the Winter Garden required 2,000 panes of glass, 60,000 square feet (5,400 m?) of marble flooring and stairs, and 16 40-foot (12 m) Washingtonia robusta palm trees at a cost $50 million. Reopened on September 17, 2002, the Winter Garden was the first major structure to be completely restored following the attacks. The Pedestrian bridge was destroyed in the same attacks and was replaced by windows facing the former site of the World Trade Center. Source: Wikipedia
