Although this historic building might not look like much, it has an interesting history! This 13-story limestone building has a modernist design and was built in 1951. The building looms over the Jay Street-MetroTech subway station because it was the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Transportation Building and was thus the bureaucratic heart of New York's subways. In fact, the building used a private subway train dubbed the "money train" to collect transit fare and used a private elevator in the building to bring the money directly from the subway to the building's "money room." In 1979 the building was the site of a well-coordinated heist and all the cash in the "money room" disappeared. The crime hasn't been solved to this day. By 2006 the building was mostly abandoned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority but the history remains.
