One World Trade Center Lit in Red in Honor of Cardinal Timothy Dolan

wtc ares

As One World Trade Center is raised higher and higher, nearly reaching the height of the Empire State Building I noticed not many photographs appearing of the tower illuminated in red in honor of Archbishop Timothy Dolan’s elevation to Cardinal. I ventured into New York City on a cold and windy Saturday night to capture the event. Here is a storify I created earlier in the day showing images I had found on the interwebs. Congressman Michael Grimm made a request to the Empire State Building to be lit in red but was declined. Rep. Grimm then made the same request to the Port Authority of NY & NJ which owns One World Trade. The tower will be lit in red from Feb 24th – March 2nd.

    Beautiful. Glad you braced for the cold and got these images. They may be the first to capture a sense of personality in this building beyond its obvious place in history.
