The year was 1950 when then-New York City Mayor William O’Dwyer, along with other city officials, created a time capsule and buried it under slabs of concrete outside 370 Jay Street.
The designated location was the site of the then-brand new Board of Transportation Building. Shoot to 2014, the 14-story building is now unoccupied as it gets ready to be re-purposed as a modern academic center for NYU.
