New York University Law School's D'Agostino
Residence Hall on West 3rd St. was once the
site of the private stables of American vice
president Aaron Burr (1756-1836.)

After his death, Burr's ghost was said to have been sighted in and around the café which was subsequently built on the site of the stables. The café later burned down. The present residence hall now stands on the site.

Ron Telly, a security officer at the campus, knows a little bit about the building's history.

"I'm not surprised, there might be stuff," he says. "This is a very old building, [but] the history is being lost."

Others laugh at the idea that the residence hall
is or was haunted.

"Oh my God, I can't believe it!" chuckled Michelle Sage, a student worker. "It's so funny!"
