Re: Nostrand Avenue A & C Subway Station Tour

Sometimes those ceiling differences indicate where a staircase was removed, not a provision for a future staircase.

When the 14 St (A,C,E) mezzanine was reconfigured and the 17 St exits were eliminated, new stairs up from the platform were added and old ones removed. Because the pillars at that station's island platforms are in the center of the platforms instead of at the platform edges, there are gaps between the pillars where the stairs were removed, along with ceiling differences there.

Where the stairs were added, there are pillars in the staircases, because they were added later, after the original construction.
