The World Trade Center Building is a historic 33-story, 124 m-tall skyscraper designed by noted architect Edward Durell Stone, opened 1967. It is now used and known as Four Seasons Hotel. In 1986 the top floor hosted a cocktail lounge called "Top of the Mart". The bar slowly rotated once per hour and the next image was taken from there. The bar remained until Hurricane Katrina in 2005. scanned slide Minolta X700, Fujichrome100
