Original Note:
This is the 33 Thomas Street Building (Formerly AT&T Long Lines Building). Its brutalist structure wasn't made for office purposes, but as a long distance phone exchange building. Its current purpose is presumed to be an NSA mass surveillance hub. https://web.archive.org/web/20070807195922/http://www.nyc-architecture.com/SOH/SOH026.htm https://theintercept.com/2016/11/16/the-nsas-spy-hub-in-new-york-hidden-in-plain-sight/
