DID YOU KNOW?
33 Thomas Street
Just a few blocks from the observatory, 33 Thomas Street stands out, not for its height, but for its lack of windows. Built in 1974 to house AT&T’s telephone switching equipment, the building was designed to be self-sufficient and secure, even in the event of a nuclear attack. Today, it’s used for data and communications infrastructure.
Fun Fact: Its fortress-like design and secrecy have made it the subject of urban legends and documentaries, adding to its mystique.
