The basement vault at the Trinity Place Bar and Restaurant was originally commissioned by the New York Realty bank. Built by the Mosler Safe Company in Hudson, New York, the vault was so large and heavy it had to be sailed down the Hudson River and transported on purpose-built railway tracks from Battery Park to its home at 115 Broadway.
Restored from its dusty condition in 2006, the vault is now home to a swish bar befitting its distinguished surroundings.
