After five years of gangster grudges, fine-tailored suits, and fireball sets, HBO's Boardwalk Empire completed its final bloody season this past fall. The DVD/Blu-Ray for Boardwalk Empire: The Complete Fifth Season comes out in stores next Tuesday, January 13th—and it'll include eight behind-the-scenes segments that focus on various shoots for the show, including many at historic NYC locations.
Get a sneak peek with the clip below, which focuses on the show filming in the beautiful Bailey House in Harlem, which served as the setting of Dr. Narcisse's Whorehouse in the series. The mansion, located at the intersection of St. Nicholas Place and 150th Street, was built in 1886 by James Bailey, co-founder of the Barnum & Bailey Circus. The nine-bedroom castle-like structure, which has "no fewer than 66 windows," was sold in 2009 for $3.5 million.

New York also did a walk-through of the house back in 2010.
