I do recall hearing that there was some sort of stairway or more than one that came up to the street and was "covered over" when the "project" was abandoned. And I've had to deal with aerial photos when I was with the PSC. The ones here are SO irresolute though (PSC and other state agencies had a standard contract for "flyovers" as needed - state used it for monitoring WTC when the towers fell as well) as to be useless for much more than guessing like we've all been doing elsewhere in this thread.So at best we might have signs that there are no stairways to the street coming up from what should be a rather deep station shell in the 1951 photo, but at the same time this "work" happened back in the 40's and likely any signs of what had been done had been removed by 1951, making the 1951 photos largely useless. The shell could still be there, but it would be at least 20 feet down to the roof assuming that it's there anyway. And it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that any stairs leading up from it to the street would have been removed and buried just to ensure no trespassers. While the photos are interesting, there isn't sufficient detail in them to arrive at any conclusions either way and further, neither of them was taken sufficiently close in time to the supposed work done there to be able to provide any hints one way or the other. So about all I see having happened here is bringing yet another unsolved mystery into the cloud here - namely that there were reports of a stairway to the street outside a building that has an unusual setback (IIRC) where an IND stairway would have fit perfectly. Heh. |
