“On a street in Brooklyn that takes you towards the river, where the cobblestones begin paving the road, there is a townhouse that deserves a second look. Despite its impeccable brickwork, number 58 Joralemon Street is not like the other houses. Behind its blacked out windows, no one is at home; no one has been at home for more than 100 years. In fact, number 58 is not a home at all, but a secret subway exit and ventilation point disguised as a Greek Revival brownstone.”
(via The Fake Townhouses hiding Mystery Underground Portals | Messy Nessy Chic Messy Nessy Chic)
NYTimes had a nice piece on 58 Joralemon a few years back.
