Posted by Wayne-MrSlantR40 on Tue Nov 16 09:31:32 2010, in response to Re: Oddities in an early 1940s Subway Map, posted by Randyo on Mon Nov 15 16:53:35 2010. It's actually a stylistic variant - similar to what is found on some of the Concourse stations (i.e.167th Street) with a "running bond" (brickwork) rather than the standard bond tiles. Only one of its kind in the system, with the captions placed over the tile band (only one tile in height, with borders). Not sure why they did it this way, as opposed to what was done at High Street or Broadway-Nassau. Perhaps they were trying a different design approach for the trackside ceiling and wall.wayne |
