Lexington Ave. el & Pratt Institute campus |

Posted by Joe on Sun Oct 16 22:02:05 2011 Does anyone have memories or photo-links of the Lexington Avenue el proceeding south on Grand Avenue through the Pratt Institute campus? From old aerial photos, it would appear that Pratt had buildings on the street grid, that is, it did not have a superblock as it now has. A few years ago, I noted that some Pratt buildings once facing outwards to the street now face inwards towards a grassy campus. This was accomplished just by blocking a door and opening another entrance. My curiosity is what an el passenger saw. Did Pratt appear just as another series of buildings lining Grand Avenue? Or was it obvious that the el bisected an institution of renown?--- I have searched through the Lex photos on nycsubway.org. Great photos, but not of this stretch. Not even a photo of DeKalb & Grand station. I rode the Lex at age eleven or twelve, but at that time I had no idea that relatives or later friends had gone to school there. Thanks. Joe |
