Don’t believe everything someone tells you. The tour guide on our open air bus ride today said that this building is the tallest apartment building in the world without any windows.
Claire and I spent all day worried for the people who live there, and who presumably pay sky-high Manhattan rents to do so. No windows to see this beautiful city??
I was so intrigued I “googled” it, and turns out we were taken for a ride! The building is AT&T’s server farm or phone switching center (not sure which). The floors are 18′ tall and are used to house computer or phone equipment that not only doesn’t need to enjoy the skyline, but also benefits from not having any sunshine in the building from a cooling perspective.
Okay – I hope they didn’t dupe us on the ticket prices for the tour too!
