I think a tripod would only work if you make arrangements and get permission.  I suspect some places would let you come before it opens to the public for the day, with prior arrangements.  Some sort of Wikimedia identification would help to be granted permission and you would need to fill out a form.

Probably don't need to mention, but it helps to show up looking professional, with a good camera and wearing business casual or something, rather than look like you are a tourist a on vacation.
