[PHOTO] Question about apparent subway entrance at Duffy Square |
|
|
Posted by Dj Hammers on Fri Feb 5 02:48:30 2016 This photo of Duffy Square appears to show a subway entrance present in the location where the TKTS booth currently stands. As far as I know, the 49th St N/Q/R station has abandoned staircases to the street on the east side of 47th St/7th Ave, but none on the west side of 47th St/7th Ave that would have come up in to Duffy Square.The 50th St IRT station doesn't reach this far south, and the 42nd St - TSQ complex doesn't reach this far north. If the staircase in the photo is for the subway at all, what did it lead to? View post on imgur.com |

If you enlarge the photo a bit, you will be able to see the letters "EN" faintly painted on the far wall of the stairwell. So this must have been an underground men's restroom. |

I concur with this assessment. The station plan for 49 Street shows "comfort station" for that corner, with no indication of any former entrances on that spot. |
