Its designers and architects knew that once doors opened for trading, they might not be able to enjoy the building recreationally. Plans were made. A solar eclipse was occurring elsewhere in the world and it seemed like as good reason as any to celebrate. Although Prohibition was in full effect, the Gallery of the building was set to be transformed into a speakeasy. One of the invited guests was a mischievous filmmaker named Nathaniel Hornblower who was also a heavy investor in Nikola Tesla. He had accumulated some early versions of Tesla's inventions for use as special effects in his movies, and he had the unfortunate habit of using them recklessly for his own personal entertainment. He urged those running the speakeasy to name it "Tesla's Lair" for the night, and he was determined to demonstrate Tesla's machines at the exact moment the solar eclipse was happening elsewhere in the world. They agreed. | ||
