The world is littered with fake empty buildings used to obscure phone line junctions and internet provider stuff.
Almost every neighbourhood has one. But they look like normal houses, so you can never tell unless you know where to look for.
Underground railways use houses for ventilation as well.
Can't believe Harriet Tubman got all that infrastructure up.
It's too bad you didn't get to post that on Juneteenth.
Los Angeles had hidden oil rigs.
There's a power utilities building disguised as a house just down the street from me. You'd never know it wasn't just a house besides the industrial equipment behind it, the lack of a car in the driveway and the warnings plastered on the front door.
We have them here in Toronto. Some of them have been removed, but there's about 3 near me.
Can you share the address of a specific one? (Does it count as doxxing if nobody lives in it?)

This video shows a bunch in Toronto.
Thanks for sharing! That was really cool. I'm going to be looking out for those from now on.
I live near one on pharmacy and finch area, and there's another one at Huntingwood and birchmount.
What do you look for?
I know of two buildings sort of like that, they both look like a bungalow office building with an empty parking lot and a card reader by the door, one building has plastered over windows, the other has normal but dirty windows
Here's one on Google maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/55qqbQRYY7abKPVy9 I drove past this for years without thinking about it until one day I drove under it.
Now that I know what it is, it's pretty obvious, but how often does the average person really inspect houses as they drive by?
Edit: maps links suck, 3911 Frances St, Burnaby, BC V5C 2P4
Haha I love how it has four reviews/3.3 stars
That one's pretty obvious though. It's got no windows nor doors, and like 8 condensor units out back.
I bet there are ones that are less obvious
There are other ones, this is just the obvious one. I've only spotted one other in the wild and I forget where it was.
Someone shared a video upthread.
The YouTube channel The Tim Traveller has covered a few (along with a bunch of other esoteric sights, I really enjoy his stuff).
Bruh...
