It is that time again… time for some Monday morning old photos. Today’s set is back to the 1980′s, and early 1990′s. Though there are a few on the Harlem, several of them are from the New Haven Line. I figured it would be cool to check out some photos not just from the Harlem Line, but from Metro-North in general.
All of the photos below are from the Historic American Buildings Survey Repository at the Library of Congress, Prints and Photograph Division, in Washington, D.C. Photos were taken by Stephen L. Senigo May 1988, as a preliminary portion of a project called the Mid-Harlem Station Improvements. Each of the eight stations to receive improvements were photographed and researched. The research was written into a report, and contained Physical History, Historical Context, and Architectural Information about the station. Diagrams of the station and the improvements come at the end of the report. All of this information was retrieved digitally from the Library of Congress’ American Memory site.
