Inside The Frick's Secret Rooms - Photo Gallery

<p>The bowling alley was built in 1914 (costing Frick $850) and is closed off to the public because there is only one exit (which is against city fire codes).</p>

<p>There's a gravity-driven ball return that works quite well!</p>

<p>The billiards table is directly behind the bowling alley.</p>

<p>This woodshop (housed in the basement) has been here as long as the Frick has, and is still used today.</p>

<p>More of the woodshop.</p>

<p>One of the neat spaces in the basement is this room that houses the old controls (still in use) that measure the humidity, temperature, etc in the house.</p>

<p>More controls.</p>

<p>Not many people know about the rooftop terrace on top of the Frick's library, except for all the fat cats with prime real estate that can see it from their mansions in the sky. Allegedly Joan Crawford could see the terrace from her apartment.</p>

<p>This cute staff diner is off the terrace!</p>
