It’s a heritage building, it used to be part of the The E.W. Gillett Company built in 1910-12 and it was not uncommon for those to have vaults in the lower floors to keep financials, or even money.
I found this image of a postcard of how it used to look like. Now it’s offices and things like yoga studios
Be curious. It’s fun to find out what things are and where they came from

And, like, I know if I tell that instructor what I found about the building and the vault, they’re just gonna say “oooh… that’s so cool…” and forget it in the next nanosecond Please I beg you be curious, it’s very cool
