7604 Fourth Avenue
Post
Aftermath of a deadly crane collapse and and landslide during construction on the BMT Fourth Avenue line in Bay Ridge, June 23, 1914. During a routine summer workday, the derrick supporting a crane suddenly gave way. The New York Times reported: “One man was killed and two others were injured, probably mortally, when a thirty ton crane broke through the soil of the subway cut,” adding “the sandy soil in this district had proved very treacherous, and it had been necessary, after the cut was opened, to strengthen the shoring on two different occasions.” The house partially visible at far right (with men on the porch) is No. 7604 Fourth Avenue. That house is still standing, but the two houses at center were demolished between 2007-2011.
417 Bay Ridge Parkway

This barrel-fronted limestone facade is part of the 400 block of Bay Ridge Parkway, now the Bay Ridge Parkway-Doctor's Row Historic District. Physicians have kept office in many of these buildings since the early 50's, often holding a practice in the ground floor and living on the floor above. The signature consistency in style is due to the fact that the builder used only two architects.
77th Street Station, BMT Fourth Avenue Line
Post
"The entrance to 77th Street Station in Bay Ridge on the BMT 4th Avenue Line, 1916." This 4th Avenue Line station opened in Bay Ridge in 1916, when the line was extended to 86th Street. The massive original entrance staircase that sits here on the corner of 77th Street and 4th Avenue remains (though the large lighted sign above the top of the stairs has been removed). These types of entrance ways are not common throughout the system. The entrance also includes an artifact of a later era, also not a common sight at subway stations. The lighted MTA logo used at this entrance is the two-color “M” that debuted in 1968 at the start of the state run agency.
