Well, at least there's some reference to the true building height... Nat
Though the Freedom Tower, the first and tallest of the planned trade center skyscrapers, is routinely described as a 1,776-foot design, it will be, in the eyes of most of the world, a 541-meter building. That suggests a reference not to the year of American independence but to the year that Totila became king and the emperor Justinian extinguished the Roman consulship. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/01/nyregion/01BLOC.html?hp
