23 Wall Street may eventually be home to a club that's like "the Cheesecake Factory with entertainment," but it's also the site of some disturbing history, as Nick Carr of Scouting NY reveals. Carr recently visited the building and took pictures of the section of the facade pockmarked by shrapnel in a 1920 bombing, the deadliest terrorist attack in American history until the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. The facade was never repaired, as a symbolic gesture of strength overcoming destruction. [Scouting NY; previously]
