The world is littered with fake empty buildings used to obscure phone line junctions and internet provider stuff.

Almost every neighbourhood has one. But they look like normal houses, so you can never tell unless you know where to look for.

There's a power utilities building disguised as a house just down the street from me. You'd never know it wasn't just a house besides the industrial equipment behind it, the lack of a car in the driveway and the warnings plastered on the front door.

We have them here in Toronto. Some of them have been removed, but there's about 3 near me.
