 ventilation, Art Deco (architecture), movie / film / TV location, 1940s construction

One of four exhaust vents serving the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, the Manhattan Vent is also located directly above the Western portal of the tunnel. Designed with a typical 1930's-era Art Deco exterior by Aymar Embury, the vent building is probably best known as the fictional headquarters of the "Men in Black". The reliefs on the exterior by Paul Manship were salvaged from the New York Coliseum.
