Astor Place Station Entrance, New York City

Astor Place Station entrance in New York City, May 2005.

Opened in 1904 as part of the city's first subway line, it has undergone numerous renovations and expansions. The station's distinctive architectural elements, including its tiled walls and metalwork, reflect the early 20th-century design of the New York City Subway system. This entrance, photographed in May 2005, shows commuters descending into the underground network.
