If any underground utilities already existed, the work may may have been to relocate them in preparation for subway construction. Based on the well-known picture of the model board, and the design of the nearby junction, we can be reasonably certain that subway construction was planned. We just don't know exactly how much made it from someone's imagination to the point of actual construction. As for the underpinning, if that were my building, I'd want more than just two steel plates there if the street were to be excavated for a subway. But nevertheless, this is all quite interesting evidence. |
