A few months ago, I was lucky enough to take a rare Transit Museum tour of the City Hall subway station. Built in the first stage of subway construction in 1904 and abandoned in 1945, it's a true gem -- skylights, Gustavino tile vaulting, brass chandeliers, terra cotta plaques, and gorgeous arches everywhere you look.

I've finally gotten my pictures of it online, and you can see them here.
