Framed Prints
Framed Print of NYC Subway Construction, 1901
Life around construction of NYC first subway was extremely disruptive. Many shopkeepers went bankrupt since people were afraid to go near the excavations and heavy machinery. During construction, the foundations of several buildings were undermined. Note the heavy timbers shoring up the white corner building on the left. The New York City Subway is a rapid transit system owned by the City of New York and leased to the New York City Transit Authority. Opened in 1904, the New York City Subway is one of the world's oldest public transit systems, one of the world's most used metro systems, and the metro system with the most stations and the most trackage. It offers service 24 hours per day and every day of the year. The Lexington Avenue Line is one of the lines of the IRT division of the New York City Subway, stretching from Downtown Brooklyn or Lower Manhattan north to 125th Street in East Harlem.
