1640 Nostrand Avenue
Post

Aftermath of a cave-in during subway construction on Nostrand Avenue, north of Beverly Road, July 14, 1916. Runoff from heavy rains on the afternoon of July 13 overwhelmed the Nostrand Avenue sewer system, destabilizing the pillars supporting the temporary wooden roadway. A BRT streetcar — carrying only four people, including crew, thanks to a timely evacuation order — fell through the roadway into the excavation cut.
