Inside New York’s Most Beautiful Subway Station, Abandoned Since 1945 Old City Hall Station (all photos by the author for Hyperallergic) Postcard of the “underground loop at City Hall, New York” (early 1900s) (via Wikimedia) (click to enlarge) I recently had the opportunity to join one of these tours, led by historian John Simko, who first showed us the site of what is technically the city’s first subway (Alfred Ely Beach’s 1869 one-stop pneumatic tunnel), as well as the remains of the station above ground, including some glass panels in City Hall Park that illuminate the skylights. A view down the platform today The station is remarkably intact, its ornate glass oculus still shining on the mezzanine where the ticket booth once stood, and the herringbone terra-cotta tile work in green and white brightly accenting the arches designed by Rafael Guastavino.
