Jehovah’s Witnesses start closing their Brooklyn Heights tunnels
Underground passageways connect prime Watchtower properties
The Watchtower, which has sold off many of its Brooklyn Heights properties, is starting to shut down the tunnels that connect them.
Last week, the Jehovah’s Witnesses deactivated one of the tunnels that connect their big Brooklyn Heights residential buildings by filling it with concrete.
The Watchtower’s pedestrian passageways form an underground network extending from 124 Columbia Heights, which overlooks the Promenade, to The Towers, a former hotel on the corner of Clark and Willow streets.
The Watchtower closed off part of this underground network on Monday, April 17.
