2 Canal Street, Skyscraper at Canal Street, New Orleans, United States.

2 Canal Street is a 33-story, 124-metre skyscraper at the foot of Canal Street by the Mississippi. Edward Durell Stone and Robert Coleman designed it in a cross-shaped plan, unlike the boxy 1960s towers around it. Its light grey concrete facade is cut by dense vertical dark strips, with stepped upper corners, horizontal window bands and a rounded dark crown rising from the centre above two lower wings.

Architect Edward Durell Stone completed this building in 1967 as New Orleans pursued vertical commercial growth. The structure marked a turning point in the city's development and Stone's own shift toward incorporating surface decoration into modernist design.

The building was the first World Trade Center in the world, formed by merging the International House and the International Trade Mart. Its top floor held the rotating "Top of the Mart" cocktail lounge from the 1970s until 2001, when the bar "360" took its place until Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

The building stands at 2 Canal Street, at the foot of Canal Street beside the Mississippi, where the Central Business District meets the French Quarter. The hotel occupies the tower above a conference center at the base, with residences on the upper floors. Visitors enter from Canal Street; the riverfront and the French Quarter are within walking distance.

The building served as a turning point where Stone deliberately wove decorative patterns into modernist language, departing from his earlier minimalist work. This shift influenced how other architects approached commercial design in the city.
