A sealed staircase in the middle of the passageway leads to Henry Street. Inside fare control, the mezzanine extends to an area now used as space for maintenance. Some of the staircases lead to an intermediate level and show more evidence of this. This level was supposed to be a station of the unbuilt Worth Street subway. Behind a locked door, located in the north end of the mezzanine, the floor drops to the level of the intended trackways for the unbuilt Worth Street Line. The unused space runs for no more than fifteen feet to a solid wall. Near the north end of this station, a different ceiling structure angling across marks where the unbuilt subway would have gone. The ramp that descends from the full-time side would have led to the same intermediate level, with a station facility in between, but that was never constructed. |
