Using the “counting the spire as part of the building” the height is 1792 feet.
There is (currently) nothing in the article (or in the link at [5]) to explain why the “tip” is 1792, but the cited height is 1776.
Note: The link at [5] says Height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the highest point of the building…
… irrespective of material or function of the highest element (i.e., including antennae, flagpoles, signage and other functional-technical equipment).

as an addition to the line that says it is the tallest building in the western hemisphere, add that it is also the second highest freestanding structure of any kind in the western hemisphere, second only to the cn tower in toronto, canada 76.132.30.242 (talk) 19:19, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
It has been suggested that this page should be split into a new page titled 1 World Trade Center (1971-2001). (discuss)

It is high time we opened a split proposal for this article into a separate one solely for the original North Tower. There is plenty of history and architectural merit that would warrant a separate article, the same as what was done for 7 World Trade Center (1987-2001), split from it's successor, the modern-day 7 World Trade Center. Similarly, the list of tenants would simply be transferred over to the article on the original North Tower. Previous consensus was in favor of a split as the 2 iterations of 7 WTC were independently notable. Excited to hear thoughts and suggestions. I will be suggesting the same be done for the South Tower. — That Coptic Guyping me! (talk) (contribs) 18:42, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
The list of tenants would merely just be a section in each article as opposed to 2 separate list pages?, yes, I anticipate that would be the case. The two towers share a lot of their history and architecture so that's why I suggested a combined article. Epicgenius (talk) 02:11, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
The article currently says: Floors 91–99 and 103–104 are mechanical floors
with a reference to SkyscraperPage. But the source actually says floors 103-105 are mechanical floors. So is this source wrong? Other reliable sources, like Skyscraper Center don't say. Mokadoshi (talk) 16:40, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
