Neighbors felt cut down Caption: "Neighbors felt cut down--Argyle Road residents were stunned when workmen \[in foreground] yesterday cut down four huge shade trees alongside site of addition to Public School 139 \[located at 330 Rugby Road] at corner of Cortelyou Road. They insist city promised a year ago the trees would remain. One, a consulting engineer, figured cost of removal at $800. 'A ridiculous waste of taxpayers money and a handsome, tree-lined street is ruined in the bargain,' he said;" several wood-frame private houses in background.
Beverly Road Station, BMT Brighton Line
Post
The Beverley Road Station House is the sole entrance to the open-cut BMT Line station below. The house was built in 1907 and completely renovated in the 1990s. Quirky Subway Fact: The distance between this station and the next station, Cortelyou Road is the shortest distance between two stations in the entire NYC subway system. At only 600 feet, if a full length train had only the first car platform at the start of one station, the end of the train would still be at the end of the other station's platform.

453-457 Coney Island Avenue, 1961. These three storefronts, with their excellently appropriate mid century signage, now have different businesses and signs. Today the cornices of the buildings have also been painted a bit more colorfully than seen in this image.
