WFC Winter Garden: Then and Now

September 11, 2008

The World Financial Center, located directly across from the WTC complex in lower Manhattan, featured a 3-story domed glass atrium, the Winter Garden. On September 11, 2001, this structure collapsed in the attack. The resident palm trees smothered in the dust and debris.

Today, the Winter Garden has been restored and while the new palms aren't quite as tall, the space continues to host free concerts and performances.
