The Brooklyn Bridge "B'''s

Brooklyn Bridge – City Hall is an express station on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line which is located on Park Row at the Manhattan end of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Artwork includes a 1996 work by Mark Gibian titled Cable Crossing.

 This is the south terminal for the 6 train, which turns via the City Hall Loop to head back uptown.  After Worth Street station closed, the Brooklyn Bridge – City Hall station was known as Brooklyn Bridge – Worth Street. The name was reverted to Brooklyn Bridge – City Hall in 1995.

Some of the unique tile work that is displayed at this station complex is displayed here.

A hi-def photo of the Reverse "B" / "B" station logo mosaic makes a beautiful framed piece for anyone with the initial "B".  It is available here: http://subwaysigns.com/related_items/subway_tiles

The Graham Ave subway station in Brooklyn.

The beauty of the tile work at the lower Manhattan subway Stations is remarkable.  You almost have to get right up on it to see the detail and the amazing color variations. 

 

This mosaic is located at the Graham Ave subway station in Brooklyn.  Graham Avenue is a station on the BMT Canarsie Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Graham and Metropolitan Avenues in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, it is served by the L train at all times.
This underground station opened on September 21, 1924 as part of the initial segment of the Canarsie Line, which was a product of the Dual Contracts, stretching from Sixth Avenue to Montrose Avenue.

And this is another "G" at the same station. The photograph of this work, and over 200 others like it, are located here: http://subwaysigns.com/related_items/tile_mosaic_photographs
