Talk:33 Thomas Street

Notable?
Is a building that is essentially a giant wiring hub really notable? --ukexpat 19:44, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Just think of it as sculpture. My question is, when the castiron facades were preserved, what became of them? --Wetman 19:58, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I think it's notable as a curiosity... ultra-secure windowless building in the middle of Manhattan? Most people seem to think it's kind of interesting, I got inspired to start the article because of a long thread on Digg's front page about it. At any rate, Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, there's no real policy reason why we can't have an article on this building, it's all well-sourced and goes far beyond directory-style information. Incidentally this would be the tallest building in most states... not even in the top 100 in NYC. I'm not sure what happened to the facades, the source didn't say. --W.marsh 20:05, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Other Older Nearby Switch
Attempted edits for the other, older switch building address which I know to be on Varick and Canal (since I worked there when it was Nynex) which is also an architectural landmark and may be the same as the one referenced at the Sixth Avenue address, if not it's the one across the street.

 * Far as I can guess, you could mean either 32 Avenue of Americas 32 Avenue of Americas.jpg or the former NY Post printing plant on the east side of Varick Street, across from the police stable and two blocks south of Canal. Jim.henderson (talk) 04:27, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Switch detail
Details about the switches in this building have been removed. The reference supplied does not support the claims made. If sufficient 3rd party sources can be identified to support this information, that's great. Until this, personal knowledge and/or interpretation of the citations beyond what is in the reference itself violates WP:V among many other Wikipedia guidelines and policies.--RadioFan (talk) 13:09, 2 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Just saying. The removed noncontroversial information is correct. Several of us know Wikipedians here know this to be true. It makes sense to leave the information in with a "citation needed" tag.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:19, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Pictures of the inside
I found this article with old pictures, but does anyone have recent pictures of the inside to include in the article?

Trivia Section
Do we really have to have it? I thought Wikipedia did not accept trivia sections and related things. -GoatLordServant (Talk) 16:04, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
