What would one have to do to do this?

Can it be done?

Is there some big building somewhere where the WWW is housed?

Yank the ethernet cable out of the back of your pc. There - done. WWW dead. And if everyone in the world did it, that would be the answer to your question, basically.

If a web server crashes and no one is around to connect to it, does it make a sound?
 
A swarm of massive 500 kiloton nukes to destroy every last trace of electronics hosting the www.
 
Impossible to kill. The web routes around points of failure, it's ALIVE~!
 
If a hardrive of mine didn't broke last year, the internet would have been ... bigger.

It may have been the case but a couple of instances of suspected sabotage in the US seem to indicate that it might be pretty easy to bring down the net.
 
On a *slightly* more serious note than the rest of this lot (not that the other posts weren't entertaining to read though) the easiest way would be to take down all the root servers.

However the problem with this is that now (opposed to the past) each root server is a large cluster of machines aaaaaaaand that it wouldn't "truly" take down the internet but merely cripple dns making it appear down for the majority of users who don't know an ip address from their social security number.

More correctly, If a web server crashes and no one is around to connect to it - Is it still running micro$ft IIS?
