Re: Tuscarora Almanac for May 28

The interior tilework is quite seamless and quite reminiscent of the 1930s IND, especially the lettering on the directional signs. It makes me wonder how much of the connection was original construction, because the most recently opened stations prior to 1959 (179 St, Fulton extensions) look nothing like that.





Especially interesting that this "CONEY ISLAND" sign also appears to be of the same vintage, actually pointing towards the Culver platform. Of course it was always part of the IND plans to extend the line, so it would make sense to put up the sign. In that sense it's similar to the "TO THE ROCKAWAYS" signs along Queens Blvd.
