The original tiles at 138th St. simply read "Mott Haven". No reference to Mott Avenue, nor even to 138th Street.I rode the subway a few days ago, for the first time in well over a month, and I saw the rehabbed northbound platform there. On the northern part of the platform (north of the stairs), all-new mosaics have been installed, each consisting of two lines: "138th Street" and "Mott Haven". On the southern portion of the station, south of the stairs, the name tablets remain covered by metal signs reading "138 Street", except for one of them which is uncovered and shows a fully restored version of the original tiling, which reads simply "Mott Haven". Question: how long was this platform when it first opened? Did it consist only of the portion south of the stairs? |
