NYC Subway Construction, 1906

Stop on the original Broadway line at 181st Street under St Nicholas Avenue. Workmen were finishing installation of ceiling lamp fixtures, inspiring some straphangers to call it "Chandelier Station". The IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line is a New York City Subway line. It is one of several lines that serves the A Division (IRT), stretching from South Ferry in Lower Manhattan north to Van Cortlandt Park-242nd Street in Riverdale, Bronx. Operation of the first subway began on October 27, 1904, with the opening of all stations from City Hall to 145th Street on the West Side Branch. Service was extended to 157th Street on November 12, 1904, as the station was delayed because there was still painting and plastering work going on in the station. The West Side Branch was extended northward to a temporary terminus of 221st Street and Broadway on March 12, 1906. The original system as included in Contract 1 was completed on January 14, 1907, when trains started running across the Harlem Ship Canal on the Broadway Bridge to 225th Street. No photographer credited, dated March 1906.
