Re: Tuscarora Almanac for February 12

Wallyhorse: "You have to remember prior to the opening of the uptown platform at BG, you had a different main entrance and it was a mezzanine from what I have seen between the two platforms at street level inside the fare zone."

According to my research and discussions on this forum, prior to the mid-1970's renovation (meaning the installation of the uptown platform, lower level mezzanine, etc.) the main entrance and only entrance of the Bowling Green station IS THE CURRENT HEAD HOUSE that was opened in 1905 that next to Battery Park.

While there was a lower level passageway from the main center platform between the uptown and Brooklyn bound tracks, the lower level passageway only connected to the shuttle platform - NOT TO A SEPARATE ENTRANCE OR EXIT.

The mid-1970's renovation of the Bowling Green station did indeed create a much better subway station.
