Posted by Elkeeper on Sat Apr 24 21:35:58 2021, in response to Re: Nostrand Avenue (A) Station, posted by K. Trout on Sat Apr 24 20:51:13 2021. The Brooklyn Eagle edition for 02/15/1931 describes the subway as being built building line to building line in a narrower section of Fulton St, between Bedford & Nostrand. There was no mention of a bank vault from the new Brevoort Savings bank. Since the new bank combined the properties of its former Macon St bank branch, plus the large space from the old Fulton Theater, there would have been no need to put the vault under the sidewalk.Although I have never found any story about building the express stop from a previously poured flooring for a local stop, this may have been the case. I have always thought of the Nostrand/Fulton station as an underground 4 track version of a Manhattan Elevated bi-level hump station. Perhaps, that may have been its inspiration! |
