It's the old cemetery of the St. Paul's Chapel, across Church Street.

The chapel and cemetery are also associated with Trinity Church, which is located right on Broadway near the WTC site.

That's one huge construction site. It's all rather exciting. I'm going to have to have a bit of a lie down!

True Grit: America's daring ironworkers walk the girders just like their forefathers as they rebuild at Ground Zero

By Mail Foreign Service
26th March 2010

Quote:
It is a symbol of blue-collar America at its very best.

The daring ironworker strides confidently across a foot-wide steel girder, hundreds of dizzying feet above the ground.

The images echo the famous 1932 picture of the riveters balanced vertiginously above the city streets while they ate the lunch during the building of the Rockefeller Centre.

But these incredible pictures were taken yesterday...








One World Trade Center, also known as the Freedom Tower, is under construction by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey


World Trade Center Tower 4, centre left, under construction by developer Larry Silverstein


Workmen relax and eat their lunch on a girder at the Rockefeller Centre in New York in the famous photo 'Lunch Atop A Skyscraper' by Charles Ebbets taken in 1932.

That black and white Charles Ebbets image is one of my favorite images of all time.

Looks like the 16000's job is over? The tower cranes can lift the perimeter columns, right?

I'm willing to bet most of those ironworkers (the connectors) are Mowhawks from Kahnawake a suburb (reserve)south of Montreal

Did they switch steel types (the treated red to the rust brown), or will they just be spraying on the fire insulation later (turning ti whitish)?

The "raw steel," will get spray-on fire proofing, while the bright red will not. The paint itself is the fire proofing, and the reason it isn't being coated like the rest of the steel is because the sleeves for the columns would be too thick otherwise.

hello everybody i just visited freedom tower aka tower 1v2 yesterday and i was talking to one of the enginiers there and they told me why there is the difference of the two typs of steel. one: is the strenght meaning the base steel is higher strenght then the office floors cause the base steel would have to carry a bigger load. two: the paint as some of you say is practlically the fire proffing.

also the the big red on the west side of the tower will be taken down very soon i was told.

i must say that the building is getteing pretty damn tall now , and yes its true by december it will be about 52 floors high.

It will be between 55 and 60 floors by the end of December. Taller than 7WTC and Goldman Sachs!!
