Built: 1965 Designed by: Robert Lee Hall and Associates, and Edward Durell Stone and Associates Type: Skyscraper Stories: 33 Maximum Height: 407 feet / 124 meters Location: 2 Canal Street, New Orleans, United States
N ot a great looking building, but still a good addition to the New Orleans skyline. Its appearance suffers from the age in which it was constructed when vertical columns of concrete were considered state-of-the-art. From above, the building is arranged as a giant plus (+) sign. At the top is a revolving bar/lounge.
At the time of its completion, this was the tallest building in New Orleans. It has since been surpassed.

Rating: One star. Ugliest building ever would look great if it were not for the bars on the windows.

Rating: Five stars. It is beautifully shaped and besides all the times I have been there I have ended up having a good time. I believe that they should change the bottom into a hotel and just keep the revolving part as it is.

Rating: Five stars. Yes, I agree. The building does seem much more massive at first hand account. The World Trade Center is located on some of the most valuable and scenic real estate New Orleans has to offer. Even though it's not close to being the tallest in the modern New Orleans Business District, it's unique characteritics deserve a place in the ever growing New Orleans skyline!

Rating: Five stars. Realy!! Only 33 stories, it looks taller in person. But even though its short, its still a very interesting building.
