You often see photos or artwork of NYC’s original City Hall station from 1904, when it first opened, or latterday photos when the Transit Museum allows people to make a foray into NYC’s first subway station.
This is a photo from December 27, 1945, just a couple of days before it closed for lack of ridership and dangerous spaces between the cars and platforms. The present day terminal is the Brooklyn Bridge station, but passenger trains on the Lexington local #6 still loop around here to go back uptown.
