The address of this building was 2 World Trade Center with the WTC complex having its own ZIP code of 10048 . It was destroyed along with the North Tower (1 World Trade Center) in the September 11 attacks .

On the 107th floor of this building was a popular tourist attraction called Top of the World Trade Center Observatories . On the roof was an observation deck accessible to the public and a disused helipad at the center.
