Here's another before and after photo (first one from nycsubway.org, second one mine). Notice how in the photo from 2003, there are almost no buildings left on the left all the way from Halsey St (the platform where the photos are taken from) station to Chauncey St and beyond(aside from the few that are in both photos, on the extreme left, and some few remaining old buildings, and some new construction in the last 10 years).





And of course here is the famous building at Myrtle-Broadway that was probably abandoned since the 1960's, and is finally occupied once again after almost a half a century of abandonment!
All photos from nycsubway.org, except the last one which is mine:

1960's:


1970's:


1996:


2003:
