Construction of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center
Social Science/History | Available (Membership Required)
This presentation is based on a collection of slides taken by Elizabeth’s father, William C. Borland, during the construction; he was the engineer in charge of getting all the materials to the site. Additional material will be covered from the book, “Twin Towers,” by Angus Kress Gillespie, associate professor of American Studies at Rutgers University, New Jersey. This talk will not cover the destruction of the towers but will include pictures of the site as it appears now and those of the National Memorial Museum.
