Those blue Essex tablets were put there in 1989, when they replaced the jail fence wall along the platform with that concrete block wall.They just tiled right over it in the mid 2000's renovation with the retro mosaic tile walls. It was one of the first times i had ever seen them try to put mosaics back in the system. Prior to that, they just hung metal signs. The concrete block wall went up in the 1989 renovation (on the bridge side of the fare control). On the other side of the fare control was a very old wall (don't know if it was original or not, but it had ancient tile on it. They took that wall down to make the area larger when they redid the stairways to the F train in the mid-2000's. |
