Nothing about the history of the building at 666 and its tenants, but in the meantime here's a nifty link I've perused before:

"On September 16, 1920, person or persons unknown exploded a bomb in front of 23 Wall Street, then as now the offices of J.P. Morgan Inc., causing 400 injuries, some of them horrific, and 33 deaths (...) A single warning had come in the form of a note placed in a mailbox at Cedar Street and Broadway just before the blast - 'Remember we will not tolerate any longer. Free the political prisoners or it will be sure death for all of you. American Anarchists Fighters.'"
