History

This covert S.H.I.E.L.D. base of operations is located on a Midtown Manhattan side street in New York City. The barbershop front provided access to the main S.H.I.E.L.D. underground complex, in which authorized S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and VIP's, such as Captain America and the Falcon, can be pneumatically transported through "Descent Chairs". After years of use, which included several breaches in security, the underground facility and the upstairs "barbershop" were closed; Agent Jasper Sitwell oversaw its sub-surface detonation.[1]

However the barbershop front remained intact, and the entire complex was later re-opened and used as the main S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters after the destruction of S.H.I.E.L.D. Central HQ.[2][3]
