abandoned places photos

Just one of a selection of photos by The Guardian from the book "Abandoned Places" by Kieron Connolly.

City Hall station, New York City

Designed as a showpiece for New York’s new subway system, City Hall station (towards the southern tip of Manhattan) opened in 1904. It’s an elegant structure in Romanesque revival style with skylights, coloured glass and brass chandeliers, but because of its tightly curved platform longer subway carriages were unable to stop there. It was always a quiet station, and passenger services were discontinued in 1945.

    Such wastes that these places are abandoned and replaced. But new construction is easier/cheaper than major maintenance i suppose.
