Quote
Over the years, select lucky adventure seekers have glimpsed the insides of the Lincoln Memorial undercroft, witnessing its most special feature — graffiti. Many of the columns in the basement are covered in funny little illustrations.



Scroll past the piece about the Lincoln Memorial and presented is an article:  "The New York Public Library also had a curiosity included in its construction, that most people still don't know about."

The secret dwellings...

I'm sure the S&B types used them for clandestine encounters of one sort or another...
