Posted by randyo on Tue Aug 27 17:50:39 2019, in response to Re: Arnines on the BMT - photos - early years, posted by K. Trout on Mon Aug 26 23:01:19 2019. From the look of the buildings in the area, it would also appear that some of the buildings on the west side of Mcdonald Av in the area were demolished to make room for the 4 tk wide portal that connected to the el. You will see that north of the portal, Mcdonald Av is not as wide as it is in the immediate area of the portal. The city did similar things in other areas of the city to allow for the construction of some of the IND’s subway lines. Some buildings on the west side of Church St S/O Canal St were razed to allow the 4 tk IND subway to be built by cut and cover and buildings on the south side of Houston St were also demolished to make room for the Houston St subway. |
