History

[edit]

4 World Trade Center was built on the site of theHudson Terminal complex. Construction began in late 1972 after Hudson Terminal was demolished. The building and its portion ofThe Mall At The World Trade Center was completed in 1975. The first tenants, theCommodities Exchange Center, started to move into the building in January 1977.^[1] On July 1, 1977, the Mercantile Traders finalized the move.^[2] The building's major tenants wereDeutsche Bank (Floor 4, 5, and 6) and theNew York Board of Trade (Floors 7, 8, and 9).^[3] The building's side facing Liberty Street housed the street-level entrance toThe Mall at the World Trade Center on the basement concourse level of the WTC.^[4]

4 World Trade Center was home to commodities exchanges on what was at the time one of the world's largest trading floors (featured in theEddie Murphy movieTrading Places). These commodities exchanges collectively had 12 trading pits.^[5]^[6]

Destruction

[edit]

The Twin Towers of theWorld Trade Center weredestroyed during theSeptember 11 attacks, creating debris that destroyed or severely damaged nearby buildings, such as the original 4 World Trade Center.^[7] Much of the southern two-thirds of the building was destroyed, and the remaining north portion virtually destroyed, as a result of the collapse of theSouth Tower. The structure was subsequently demolished to make way for reconstruction.

At the time of the September 11 attacks, the building's commodities exchanges had 30.2 million ounces (860,000,000 g) of silver coins and 379,036 ounces (10,745,500 g) of gold coins in the basement.^[8] The coins in the basement were worth an estimated $200 million.^[9] Much of the coins had been removed by November 2001;^[9] trucks transported the coins out of the basement through an intact but abandoned section of theDowntown Hudson Tubes.^[10] Many coins belonging to theBank of Nova Scotia were purchased in 2002, repackaged by theProfessional Coin Grading Service, and resold to collectors.^[11]
