The original World Trade Center was comprised of seven buildings. These were the Marriott World Trade Center (3WTC), the 4 world trade center (4WTC), the 5 world trade center (5WTC), the 6 world trade center (6WTC), the 7 world trade center (7WTC), and the two twin towers (1 & 2WTC). These 7 buildings housed such things as the United States Customs Service and the U.S. Commodities Exchange, the PATH station, office buildings, and underground shopping mall. Only three of these buildings still stood following the 911 attacks but they were subsequently demolished because they suffered a lot of damage.
The new site of the world trade center will contain 7 buildings again but these will be Freedom Tower (Tower 1) 200 Greenwich Street (Tower 2) 175 Greenwich Street (Tower 3) 150 Greenwich Street (Tower 4) 130 Liberty Street (Tower 5), and 7 World Trade Center. It is not known what these buildings will be used for as of yet, but it will probably house a few businesses just as it was before.
