Anyone who has watched the National Treasure movies or read any of Dan Brown’s books knows who the Masons are. They were a group of very intelligent designers and builders who built many of our country’s earlier landmarks.They built The Level Club on West 73rd, between Broadway and West End Avenue to be their National Headquarters. After a brief inhabitance the club defaulted on its mortgage in the crash of 1929, was used as a hospital during World War II, converted to a hotel in 1936, then in the 1980’s was converted to apartments.

Knowing what we know about the Masons and the Knights Templar, you have to imagine there are some pretty neat secrets hidden in this building.
