58 Joralemon Street, in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, New York, United States, is a Greek Revival structure built in 1847 as a private residence but is now a New York City Subway vent. The Interborough Rapid Transit Company acquired the property in 1907, gutted the interior, and converted the structure to "the world’s only Greek Revival subway ventilator". The ventilator also serves as an emergency exit from the eastern end of the New York City Subway's Joralemon Street Tunnel, which carries the IRT Lexington Avenue Line (4 and 5 trains) between Bowling Green and Borough Hall, where it becomes the IRT Eastern Parkway Line (2, 3, 4, and 5 trains).

- 58 Joralemon Street, in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, New York, United States, is a Greek Revival structure built in 1847 as a private residence but is now a New York City Subway vent. The Interborough Rapid Transit Company acquired the property in 1907, gutted the interior, and converted the structure to "the world’s only Greek Revival subway ventilator". The ventilator also serves as an emergency exit from the eastern end of the New York City Subway's Joralemon Street Tunnel, which carries the IRT Lexington Avenue Line (4 and 5 trains) between Bowling Green and Borough Hall, where it becomes the IRT Eastern Parkway Line (2, 3, 4, and 5 trains). Through acquisitions, the property passed to the New York City Board of Transportation in 1940 and to the New York City Transit Authority in 1953, its current owner. As of 2010 it was valued at $2.8 million.The exterior facade and black Lexan windows are the result of a 1999 agreement with the Landmarks Preservation Commission to help the facility blend into the neighborhood, which is a city-landmarked historic district.
- 58 Joralemon Street è un edificio in stile neogreco costruito nel 1847 a Brooklyn Heights, New York. In origine era una residenza privata, oggi funge invece da pozzo di ventilazione della metropolitana di New York. Dopo essere stato costruito nel 1847, l'edificio venne acquistato nel 1908 dall'Interborough Rapid Transit Company, che sventrò l'interno e lo trasformò "nell'unico pozzo di ventilazione al mondo di una metropolitana in stile neogreco". L'edificio serve anche come uscita d'emergenza per l'estremità est del Joralemon Street Tunnel della metropolitana di New York, dove la linea IRT Lexington Avenue si unisce alla linea IRT Eastern Parkway. Dopo l'unificazione delle tre reti in una sola, nel 1940, la proprietà è passata al New York City Board of Transportation e infine, nel 1953 alla New York City Transit Authority, attuale proprietaria. Al 2010 l'edificio era valutato 2,8 milioni di dollari. L'attuale aspetto esterno, con le finestre nere in policarbonato, è frutto di un accordo del 1999 con la New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, per facilitare l'integrazione dell'edificio con il quartiere.
