Re: Question About the “L” BMT line

I noticed that this is a bit before the emergency exits at Harrison Place and Porter Ave (you can see them at about 15:44). So I think it's on Harrison Place between Porter and Varick.

Whatever it is, the heavy columns may be to support the buildings above because Harrison Place is a fairly narrow street. According to the city tax map, 41 Varick Avenue (corner of Harrison and Varick) was built in 1920, so it's possible the subway structure was built to underpin it.

I'm not convinced it's tiled, either - at 14:50, you can see graffiti on the tile at Jefferson St yet it still reflects and diffuses light, which the mystery platform doesn't seem to.
