Who the fuck did your onboarding, agent?! Did you skip over the part where you're not, under any circumstances, to reveal the location of the Oldest House to the public?! Do you need another copy of that memo?!
Nope, the oldest house is just on the other side of the street
Yep, other side, that's definitely not just a red herring address that was invented for that interactive mockumentary that came out a few years ago.

It's a major communications connection hub and because that's where so many data comes through, it's also an intelligence base. Probably NSA.
TIL, thanks! My first thought was that it might've been a telephony exchange center, data center, or other networking infrastructure hub. There's a building in my city colloquially referred to as "the bunker" built with a similar hardened brutalist style that houses all the main network trunk connections for our state.
My father worked for Western Electric, the part of the Bell System that handled wiring this building (and others). I'm pretty sure he worked there, at least for a while. The amount of copper wire in that building is astronomical.
this could be us, but you playin'
My life is empty without a doomer shawty to collect copper and smoke crack with. 😔

Fun fact: there are some big magnets in there. I have a compass on my backpack and it had a lot of trouble when I passed that building.

it is a telephone exchange or wire center building […] used for […] telephony, as well as […] for competitive local exchange carrier services. However, it is not used for incumbent local exchange carrier services, and is not a central office. Its CLLI code is NYCMNYBW.
It has been reported that the building is used as a National Security Agency (NSA) mass surveillance facility.[1][2]

There are at least half a dozen quality YouTube videos on that building. It's a Comms hub/bunker and the NSA probably has an office inside where they get a tap on basically all traffic AT&T handles
The Ministry of Love?
CIA servers you say?
It's a CIA/NSA building. It contains SigInt shit.
Oh that's just the Oldest House
The janitor is nice though.
The main server of EvilCorp.
Something something the redundant backups and hydrogen filling the room

It's an AT&t switch building
Is it cake?
Apple. There's no windows.
Cube.
I've played Wolfenstein The New Order. Probably Nazis.
Pretty much, yeah.
Here's a great video on it
Hey this looks interesting. I’ll check it out
Telecom exchange. We got one kinda similar in KCMO, although I’d guess there are actual offices for people in the lower half of the building since it’s got windows.
New York telephone exchange.
That's where Immortan Joe releases the water sometimes.
Telephone exchanger. And as a consequence a lot of espionage occurred there, but just because it's a big telephone exchanger, not because that's its purpose.

The dinosaurs

No idea what building that is or what's inside, but I love me a giant brutalist megastructure.
Inside there is a glass box surrounded by 7 cameras and other equipment. Sometimes Dale Cooper's doppelganger shows up.
That’s the building where the guy from the Netflix movie hosts his AR murder game
That's a big router
Nearby metro systems central hvac.
