Posted by displaced angeleno on Thu Sep 22 18:55:12 2016, in response to Re: Where Sands Street station was is now Cadman Plaza Park, posted by randyo on Thu Sep 22 17:48:58 2016. That explains why the street is named Red Cross Place, roughly 25 feet north of where High Street once was. The building is now some sort of NYCTA structure whose purpose I have been unable to figure out. Many NYCTA trucks enter and leave the enclosed (with razor wire) lot attached to the squat light pink building.I always figured it was NYCTA property on the site of Sands Street station. If you look on Google Maps Street View, the northern portion of that building has an archway that has been bricked up/closed up with cinder blocks. Other windows in the building have slight arches above them and have also been bricked up. Given the unlikelihood that such architecture was used post 1945 gives me the impression that the building was in existence at the time the station closed and somehow survived the demolition. The relevant photo is here, and both surfaces of the building reveal bricked up arched entrances/windows. |
