The absence of photos from that far back is neither proof or a denial of its existence - cameras were very big and bulky, very very expensive, and you really needed a genuine reason to send one out to take a picture back in those days. So the absence of any photos wouldn't be a surprise one way or the other.

The IRT was pretty diligent with photos to document construction, many of which are in the New York Transit Museum collection.

This is Broadway at 230th Street looking north, May 28, 1907:



This photo is captioned Tracks near 230th Street in the Bronx on the IRT West Side / Seventh Avenue Line and is probably the NYC. It's dated February 27, 1907.
