New York City has skyscrapers of all shapes and sizes.

It's an architectural playground ranging from Art Deco, Gothic, Art Nouveau, and Renaissance Revival.

Walking around the Big Apple, you'll see it all.

There's one style, though though that isn't as prevalent

and one building that's not really like the others

and it's located at 33 Thomas Street in Tribeca.

33 Thomas is different.

This style is called brutalism.

This design trend started in the 1950s

and lasted until the 1970s, only 20 years.

It's not the prettiest to look at. This style is known for focusing

on function over form and for minimalism. We're talking blocky heavy material. It's monochromatic,

no frills, nothing extra. Think of raw exposed concrete

slabs. Brutalist buildings are commonly used in films and TV shows to depict an urban

dystopia. It's featured heavily in movies like Clockwork Orange

or The Hunger Games. In short, brutalism buildings are spooky. So back to the building on 33 Thomas Street.

It turns out that this building is even more disturbing than anything you've seen in the movies.

It's so minimalist that it's been called the most mysterious building in New York City.

This skyscraper stands 500 feet tall and has no windows,

literally zero windows.

It's solid concrete.

Nobody can see in and nobody can see out. At night there are no lights on it.
