That would square nicely with tax map research I did a while back. I wasn't able to find any easements on the Queens side of Pitkin Av (there were plenty on the Brooklyn side, usually the subway abutting a few feet into private property, especially for stations).But I hadn't considered that Pitkin Av might have been built as the subway roof. If the city already owned the land for the subway, there's no need to get an easement. The new lots along Pitkin would have been drawn appropriately outside the subway borders. 1924 Aerial map from NYPL. Looks like Old South Rd was a dirt road - and didn't directly connect to Pitkin. The connection and improvement of Pitkin Av easily could have been done as part of the IND construction. |
