The B of E built the yard for the B of T a few years before the subway was built to avoid having the school and adjacent school yard underpinned when it was time to build the actual subway. The yard and short portions of tunnel leading to it were built and the rest of the leads were merely connected to it when the subway construction reached that area. Now that you mention it, weird though it sounds, once the final routing of the IND subway was decided on, it may be possible that the station shell was built as part of the Pitkin Av straightening even before the stations between ENY and Euclid were built. That could also account for lack of information since the construction of the subway shell may have just been lumped in with local area street realignment. |
