    I'm clueless about the tunnels.

    There are connecting tunnels to several buildings in bethel. You can go to several buildings without ever going outside. It's pretty cool actually, they go under the streets and sidewalks.I was all over that place years ago.

    I wonder if the tunnels make hanky-panky more convenient for the GB and their underlings?

    Boy. I'd like to think that this is more evidence of their demise. But...that may be a little too much to ask for.

    I hope this link works - it's a poor clip but has pics of the tunnels for you! Is the residential block shown in the film the Standish Arms? (It looks like a fairly old film clip)

    It reminds me the German subsidiary of the company I used to work for apparently had a tunnel linking their building to the brothel next door

    There are some good comments on this blog and a picture of the building.

    According to Brooklyn Heights Blog, the Brooklyn Eagle reported yesterday that the Jehovah's Witnesses are preparing to sell the 80,000-square-foot Columbia Heights building known as the Standish Arms Hotel. For the last two decades, the Watchtower group has used the limestone and brick structure to house its flock. The decision is reportedly part of a larger reorganization of the property-rich organization's holdings. All we know is these will be some expensive apartments when a developer's done with them. How do neighbors feel about the impending change in ownership?
