6 World Trade Center was an eight-story building in Lower Manhattan in New York City. It opened in 1974 and was the building in the World Trade Center complex that had the fewest stories. The building served as the U.S. Customs House for New York. It was destroyed in 2001 due to the collapse of the North Tower during the September 11 attacks. Its site is now the location of the new One World Trade Center and the Perelman Performing Arts Center.
History
6 World Trade Center was first proposed in 1968 as part of the original World Trade Center complex. The building was designed by Minoru Yamasaki, along with Emery Roth & Sons.[1] Construction was completed in 1973 on the eight-story building. 6 World Trade Center was home to the U.S. Customs Service for the state of New York, from 1974 to 2001.[2][3]

September 11 attacks and cleanup
During the September 11 attacks, the collapse of the North Tower destroyed large sections of the 6 World Trade Center.[3] Two days later, within the crushed section of the building, two steel beams connected in the shape of a cross were found, believed to be debris from the tower.[4] The beams have since become known as the World Trade Center cross, and is displayed within the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.[5]
The building's ruins were demolished to make way for reconstruction of the current World Trade Center site. AMEC Construction handled the demolition,[6] in which the building was weakened and then pulled down with cables. The new One World Trade Center stands at the site where 6 World Trade Center originally stood.[7][8]
