I'm surprised there are more conspiracies about this than the facades you can find walking around Manhattan. I remember stumbling upon one without knowing what they were, and being rather confused (and suspicious).
- wkat4242 3y agoWhat facades? Edit: Ah I found them online. Those are built not to be noticed though. I can imagine they don't attract so much attention. This AT&T building is a pretty cool piece of mysterious brutalist architecture. It's noticable and leads to wonder about what's inside. And infamous because it was (is?) home to an NSA monitoring installation exposed in some leaks. It was also featured in media like the Mr Robot series.
- danielvaughn 3y agoThe facades are really obvious if you're walking by them, and they're super creepy if you don't know what they are. Not to say that the AT&T building isn't creepy - I've walked by it a few times and it always made me laugh a little at how ridiculously evil it looks.
- ciabattabread 3y agoYou’re talking about buildings that hide subway ventilation shafts and power substations[1]. People would rather live next to creepy than ugly. [1] https://roadtrippers.com/magazine/new-york-fake-facades/ https://roadtrippers.com/magazine/new-york-fake-facades/
