This is the token booth at the World Trade Center, where I bought a train-pass on 9/10/01. It has been closed, hidden from view and boarded up behind a (re)construction barrier since the fateful day that two buildings fell, not 25 feet away from it... I pass it each day on my commute, and it has been secluded behind a barrier for years... until yesterday.
