Notes: Coit Tower was constructed in 1933 at the request of Lillie Hitchcock Coit. This interesting woman was a volunteer firefighter who rode along with the firemen of her day, often to the chagrin of those who may have found such behavior unladylike during her era. Ignoring those people, Ms. Coit lived a dynamic life. She was allowed her eccentricities in part because she had the money to live as she pleased. She donated much of that money to assisting the firefighters in the city. She also donated the money to build Coit Tower in the interest of both honoring the firefighters and creating a beautiful spot for viewing the city she loved.

Randy's Donut Shop

Tweet

The (1954) sign, as much as the baked goods, is the lure at Randy's Donuts, in Inglewood, California. One roadside-attractions website notes that because of its proximity to an L.A. freeway, the sign gets frequent "smog and soot scrubs."|04/07/05|01409 (digital file from LC-HS503-532)

Randy's Donuts, colloquially known as "The Big O", is a donut shop in Los Angeles, California, United States, made famous by the 32.5-foot donut on its roof. The building opened in 1954. It is recognizable due to its many appearances in movies, music videos, and television.

World Trade Center August 2001

World Trade Center Clip Art, Carol M. Highsmith's photographs are in the public domain. Photographer Carol Highsmith unexpectedly donated to the Library of Congress a stunning panoramic photograph she took of lower Manhattan and the World Trade Center from a helicopter on a clear day in early August 2001. Highsmith also put the Prints and Photographs Division in touch with company officials in charge of recycling the steel from ground zero.

For the Library's exhibition, they specially saved the last burned and crushed fragments of structural steel and metal cladding from the World Trade Center. A strong supporter of the Library, the energetic photographer also helped to arrange for another gift--a piece of limestone torn from the Pentagon. On display in the exhibition, these artifacts are tangible records of the physical devastation suffered on September 11, 2001.

World Trade Center From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The World Trade Center in New York City (sometimes informally referred to as the WTC or the Twin Towers) was a complex of seven buildings in Lower Manhattan, mostly designed by American architect Minoru Yamasaki and engineer Leslie Robertson and developed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. It was initiated in 1960 by a Lower Manhattan Association created and chaired by David Rockefeller, who had the original idea of building the Center, with strong backing from the then-New York governor, his brother Nelson Rockefeller.

The World Trade Center, New York, like most all World Trade Centers located around the globe, belonged to the family of World Trade Centers Association. Larry Silverstein held the most recent lease to the complex, the Port Authority having leased it to him in July 2001. The complex, located in the heart of New York City's downtown financial district, contained 13.4 million square feet (1.24 million m²) of office space, almost four percent of Manhattan's entire office inventory at that time.

Best known for its iconic 110-story twin towers, the World Trade Center was beset by a fire on February 13, 1975 and a bombing on February 26, 1993. Despite the first two disasters, the World Trade Center was a part of New York City's identity and was recognized all over the world as an icon for the United States of America.

All of the original buildings in the complex were destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks. One World Trade Center (1 WTC) and Two World Trade Center (2 WTC)—the North Tower and South Tower, respectively, collapsed, as did 7 World Trade Center (7 WTC).

The Marriott World Trade Center (3 WTC) was crushed by the collapses of 1 WTC and 2 WTC. 4 World Trade Center (4 WTC), 5 World Trade Center (5 WTC), and 6 World Trade Center (6 WTC) were damaged beyond repair and later demolished. In addition, St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church (not part of the complex) was destroyed by the collapse of 2 WTC; the Deutsche Bank Building was damaged beyond repair and is currently being deconstructed.
