This corridor is where the original WTC meets the new one, where eras collide as much as architectural styles. It's the most uncommon of common spaces.
I have very clear memories of walking this subway line with my mom and brother at Christmas ‘93 at night to go up to the indoor observation deck in one of the towers. At the time, I was awed that we could get off the subway and be in the Towers without having to go outside. Now I’m awed that it still exists.

Thank you for this tribute, Rolando. I feel very moved by the image of the old stone next to new tile. Very glad they've kept what they could.
What a remarkable story. I never knew this or have seen these images. Thanks so much for sharing this.
