The working assumption of the NYDDC, Bureau of Architecture and Planning, is that the
seriously damaged buildings can be repaired (rather than demolished). With the
exception of the Post Office, these are privately owned buildings, as are most of the
buildings in the WTC impact area. The two buildings that sustained the most damage, 90
West Street and 140 West Street, are City landmarks and are subject to control by the
LPC. 'Hie St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, at 15 Cedar Street, was destroyed by the
collapse of the WTC buildings. St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church was not designated
a local landmark but was potentially eligible for the National Register since it was
constructed in 1832.
Some of the historic buildings surrounding the WTC were damaged by falling debris and
may have broken windows or sustained cornice or roof damage. The number of affected
buildings is not known but it is expected that these buildings can be restored to pre
disaster conditions.
