About this item
IRT 5
October 27, 1904
The station at Times Square, formerly Longacre Square but renamed for the newly constructed headquarters of Adolph S. Ochs newspaper, opened in 1904. The large name panels were among the most ornate in the entire system.
Images of the ceramic mosaics and plaques of the New York subways are chemically imbedded into our tiles. This process makes it possible to capture the detail and color of these pieces despite the decades of accumulated grime and muted subway lighting. We couldn't climb up and wash the panels, but properly lighted and photographed, they do come alive!
Decorative, high-glaze ceramic tile with metal hanger on back.
Measures 6 x 8 inches
