The design of the building shows the influence of German Expressionism, while the detailing is Art Deco. The exterior brick moves from darker shades to lighter ones as the building rises, passing through 19 different colors as it does. Both the interior and exterior of the building, which is now one of the most important Internet hubs in the world[3] were designated New York City landmarks in 1991.[4][5] On February 5, 2016, a {{convert|565|foot|m}}-long boom crane fell from the building onto Worth Street, killing one person and injuring three others,[6][7][8][9] while doing non-structural damage to some of the buildings around it. The crane had been being used to install air conditioning units and generators on the roof of 60 Hudson Street.[10] Internet hubDuring the heyday of the telegraph, the Western Union Building was a premier nexus of worldwide communications, operating in parallel to the existing Bell Operating Companies of the day. Since Western Union moved its headquarters to New Jersey, the building has been converted into a colocation centre where hundreds of telecommunications companies interconnect their respective Internet Networks (known as Peering) as well as conventional TDM traffic through numerous meet-me rooms and optical and electrical lines placed throughout the building. It is once again a premier nexus of worldwide communications. Many data center colocation providers are tenants in the building.[11] Metcom Network Services, an example of one such company, has built optical and electrical cabling facilities throughout the building since 1997.[12] An original tenant of Micro-Net, the company that purchased the Western Union assets at 60 Hudson, Metcom provides connectivity throughout the building and between Meet Me Rooms including street cable access and wireless access from numerous microwave and wideband antenna mounts within the rooftop area. Various data centers including Metcom, Equinix, Digital Reality, and zColo house the world's largest Internet and Telecommunications providers for the purpose of collocating high capacity transport equipment used to terminate traffic both inbound and outbound with each other.[13] In 2012 equipment for algorithmic trading was installed in buildings close to this one in order to conduct trades microseconds more quickly than in Wall Street a mile away.[14] In 2006, a New York City panel approved the storage of nearly 2,000 gallons (7,500 liters) of diesel fuel on six floors of the building, part of some 80,000 gallons (300,000 liters) of fuel oil stored in the building. Community opposition had been raised regarding concerns that the presence of the fuel oil posed a fire hazard that could result in a catastrophic failure of the building.[15] GallerySee also
