About this item

Although Borough Hall still stands, this colorful plaque recalls the towering cupola destroyed in a fire in 1895. The 1919 panel is typical of the Squire Vickers-designed stations.

Images of the ceramic mosaics and plaques of the New York subways are chemically imbedded into our tiles. This process makes it possible to capture the detail and color of these pieces despite the decades of accumulated grime and muted subway lighting. We couldn't climb up and wash the panels, but properly lighted and photographed, they do come alive!

Decorative, high-glaze ceramic tile with metal hanger on back.
