Nobody who lived in that neighborhood could tell me when the change from Ave to Blvd was made, but it was probably some time during the construction of the IND connection to the Fulton St El considering how the info signs were initially painted.That was back in 1915. After the Queens numbering system was set up, The city spent the 15-20 years with dual names of their streets before they started enforcing the new names. The IRT and BMT never changed the names of their stations in Queens. That's why there are stations called Fisk, Alburtis, Hudson, Greenwood and so on. Streets run north and south. Avenues run east and west. there was a mosiac sign near the N/E stariway to the N/B platform at 65 St which read, upon extremely careful scrutiny, "Trains to Jamaica and Rockaway" with the words "and Rockaway" painted out. Pictures of that sign has been shown in here before "To Rockaway" was painted out. I think now a metal sign has been put up covering the mosiac sign. That pic has been shown in here as well. |
