(NewsNation) — You never know what you’ll find when renovating a historic townhouse.

Pop star Michael Jackson’s old townhouse on 4 West 74th is undergoing extensive renovations … and the workers found some surprising things.

According to one construction worker, during the nuts-to-bolts renovation, they found small, hidden passageways and tunnels all over the home connecting a lot of the rooms. 

“They were small — kind of child-sized,” the worker said. “It’s really weird.”

The home, built in 1898, was also once home to Marc Chagall. It was sold in 2018 by billionaire hedge fund manager Marc Lasry and his wife, Cathy Lasry, for $32 million. In the Architectural Digest story about the sale, it boasted of having “12,745 square feet of living space over six stories, each accessible from a grand oak staircase.”

Apparently, there’s a few more square feet — accessible by tunnels and passageways.
