New York's premier datacenter, 60 Hudson Street is a major telecommunications facility and a historical landmark located in Lower Manhattan. The art deco brick structure was designed by Ralph Thomas Walker of Voorhees, Gmelin & Walker and opened in 1930. It served as the headquarters of the Western Union company until 1973.
During the time of the telegraph, 60 Hudson, then known as the Western Union Building, was a premier nexus of world-wide communications. It was designated a building landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1992.
Now the building serves as the premier carrier hotel nexus of world wide communications where over 100 telecommunications companies have offices and can interchange Internet traffic through Telx's Meet-Me-Room individual fiber optic lines.
