Clippership Wharf Leasing Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the loading dock—a small wooden chest, locked tight and bearing no markings. Curiosity piqued, he took it inside, only to discover an old ledger filled with cryptic entries. As days passed, more curious employees found similar chests, each containing strange ledgers. Turns out, they were old records of unpaid rent from tenants who’d moved decades ago. The office became known as ‘The Place Where Ghost Rent Is Collected.’ Eventually, someone suggested using the findings for comedy during staff meetings—much laughter ensued.

2. One day, a little girl visiting her grandparents pointed excitedly at the old sign outside the leasing office and asked, ‘Grandma, what’s a clippership?’ Grandma smiled and replied, 'Oh honey, it's an old sailing ship from the days when they crossed oceans quickly.' Just then, a regular passing by overheard and chimed in, 'Actually, ma'am, it’s just our fancy name for the rental office!' Everyone laughed, including the little girl who giggled, thinking maybe even grandmas could get things wrong.

3. A curious pigeon perched on the window ledge of the leasing office, pecking at an old brass plaque with unusual persistence. Inside, the realtor overheard its soft cooing and wondered aloud if it had found some hidden treasure. Suddenly, the bird flapped away, dropping a tiny key onto the desk. The realtor picked it up curiously, only for a delivery driver to ask jokingly, ‘Is that the key to your new listing, or just the door to your imagination?’

4. In the dim light of dawn, an early riser heard a voice calling from within the leasing office: ‘Anyone here for the last available waterfront apartment?’ A sleepy delivery driver answered groggily and was promptly offered the 'waterfront' view—a sign reading ‘Keep Out’ on a pile of sandbags. Later that day, when everyone gathered for coffee, someone asked the new tenant if they saw any water. With a smile, they replied, 'No, but I do see potential!'
