This vault door is a survivor of the Manufacturers Hanover Trust building's controversial conversion to retail space.
Day 121
Portal of the day
April 29th, 2012
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
I was walking by this building last Saturday and was thinking the vault would make a good portal of the day for Matt’s site and voila! here it is! :)
Love it as the portal of the day! :)
IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT STORM CELLAR IN ALABAMA IF THE VAULT IS STILL ATTACHED, WE HAD ONE VAULT ON
