Train Station - Atlantic Ave Control House 1910 Jigsaw Puzzle
Colourized photo from 1910, August
Original Title: Atlantic Ave, Subway Entrance
Location: 579 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, New York
This is the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), subway station, it was originally built in 1907. On the left is the Heins and LaFarge subway kiosk built in 1908. The building was designed to have an artistic flair, built in the Flemish Revival Style. It served as the underground access point for the trains below.
Elevated trains were very popular a 100 years ago. It allowed people to get off the busy streets and go right to your destination. However they were replaced with a better subway system, and many of these tracks were taken apart. This one was taken apart in 1941.
Today, on this very spot, you can still see this very building. However its no longer a building, its being used as a portal for light for the current subway. They say that if you walk in from the current entrance, and move back about 30 ft or so, look up, and you'll see the inside of this little building.

The picture quality is fantastic on these puzzles. They have a high gloss finish and look fantastic. My only complaint is that there is a lot of movement with the pieces compared to regular cardboard pieces. Once compelted there is still a lot of play and pieces can move out of place. The puzzle says 8x10 But was about 1/4, 1/8 shorter on either end. Yes there are some concerns but I would definitely order another puzzle. Print and finish were great
