Civic Center, Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States
The underground interior of the IRT subway system is among the most important aspects of the New York City subway system.
In recognition of the historic and artistic significance of the IRT system, portions of 12 of the original 45 underground stations built under Contracts 1 and 2 of the IRT system are being designated an Interior Landmark. Designed by the architectural firm of Heins & LaFarge in conjunction with Chief Engineer William Barclay Parsons, these stations vividly represent the artistic character of the IRT system, now celebrating its Diamond Jubilee.
The subway system of New York is only 75 years old, but proposals for an underground rapid transit system to alleviate traffic congestion in New York had been put forward as early as the 1860s. In 1864 the Metropolitan Railway Company was incorporated; the intent was to build an underground railway. Because of political opposition and the competition for franchise rights, the scheme was not successful. Between 1868 and 1870 Alfred Ely Beach , inventor and editor of Scientific American, secretly constructed a subway to be operated by pneumatic power beneath Broadway between Murray and Warren Streets.
While it proved a popular novelty, Beach's subway ultimately failed due to the opposition of Boss Tweed and lack of financing to expand the subway tunnel. Instead of underground system, elevated steam railroads were built, beginning in 1868, which quickly spanned important sections of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
The New York State Legislature created a Rapid Transit Commission in 1891 to explore the possibility of a subway system. To meet the problem of construction costs, the City of New York was authorized in the Rapid Transit Act of 1894 to issue bonds and enter into contract with a private corporation to build and operate an underground railroad.
Although several years of delay and litigation followed, a contract was finally let by the City on October 11, 1899, to the Rapid Transit Subway Construction Company, formed by John B. McDonald with the financial backing of banker August P. Belmont, Jr. Belmont created the Interborough Rapid Transit Company in 1902 to lease the subway from the City and to operate it for fifty years.
The 1899 contract called for the construction of a subway system according to the route and plan that had been devised by William Barclay Parsons . Parsons, who had received his engineering training at Columbia University, had begun his career with the New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad and had written several books on railroad problems.
In 1891 Parsons had been appointed deputy chief engineer of the Rapid Transit Commission and in 1894 he had been named Chief Engineer. Parsons devised a subway route in 1895 which was revised in 1897. It began with a loop under City Hall, went up the east side of Manhattan along Lafayette Street and Fourth Avenue to Grand Central Station at 42nd Street, then went west to Times Square and turned north along Broadway to 96th Street; there it branched into two lines leading to the Bronx. Construction began in March 1900.
A second contract extended the route south from City Hall into Brooklyn where it terminated at the Long Island Railroad Terminal at Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues. Work was begun on this section of the route in 1902.
The construction methods and station plans were determined by the engineers of the Rapid Transit Commission working under Parsons, but a consulting architect was sought to design the decoration of the underground stations, the control houses, and the kiosks of the subway, and a search committee was appointed in 1901. The firms of Carrere & Hastings and Robert Gibson were considered, but on March 7, 1901, the firm of Heins & LaFarge was selected.
George L. Heins and Christopher Grant LaFarge both received their architectural training at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the supervision of French-born and -trained Eugene, Letang. LaFarge, the son of the noted painter John LaFarge, then worked in the architectural office of Henry Hobson Richardson, while Heins acquired experience in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
The two formed an partnership in 1886, which continued until Heins' death in 1907. They are best remembered for their ecclesiastical architecture, especially the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. Winning the competition for the cathedral design in 1891, they served as architects for the first phase of construction.
Among their other major church designs are the Fourth Presbyterian Church and Parsonage at West End Avenue and 9 3rd Street in New York and St. Matthew's Roman Catholic Cathedral in Washington D.C. They also designed residences for prominent people in New York and Washington.
In 1899 the firm began to design buildings for the New York Zoological Gardens in the Bronx. There were no obvious prototypes for such buildings, so the architects chose modified classical designs, ornamented with appropriate animal motifs.
Perhaps through the influence of August Belmont, Jr., for whom the the firm had designed a chapel in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the architects received the subway contract in 1901. They were faced with a problem similar to that in the Zoological Gardens— devising an architecture for which there was no obvious historical prototype.
The artistic treatment of the subway stations had been only dealt with in very general terms previous to the appointment of the consulting, architects. In 1891 the Report of the Rapid Transit Commission stated that every effort should be made "in the way of painting and decoration to give brightness and cheerfulness to the general effect" of the stations.
The IRT contract of 1899 specified white or light-colored tiles or enameled brick for the station walls, except where color was to be "introduced for architectural effect."
Parson had undertaken a study of European transit systems which he issued in 1894. In it he discussed various aesthetic features and treatments of those systems, and they in turn affected his planning of the New York system.
As designed by Parsons and his engineers, the underground stations are of two basic types: local, with platforms located outside the tracks adjacent to the tunnel walls; and express, with island platforms between the local and express tracks. Local platforms south of 96th Street were 200 feet long, while express platforms and local platforms north of 96th Street were 350 feet long.
The stations built under Contract 2 have platforms of the local type, but these were also 350 feet long.
The City Hall station with its single looped track has a short curved platform. Entrance areas, also known as control areas, provide access to the platforms. While most of these are on the same level as the platforms and close to the surface of the street, some control, areas are located on a mezzanine above the platforms.
The stations are constructed of steel beams five feet between centers with jack-arch concrete roofs and either straight or jack-arch concrete walls. The side walls of the stations are of four-inch thick brick separated by a one-inch air space from the outer structural walls. Cast-iron columns placed at fifteen-foot intervals carry the station roofs. Floors are of three-inch thick concrete graded to drain into catch basins.
While this basic construction was the responsibility of the engineers, the artistic treatment and decoration of the stations were the responsibility of the architects, subject to the final approval of Parsons, who delegated authority to D.L. Turner, assistant engineer in charge of stations for the Rapid Transit Subway Construction Company.
It seems certain that Parsons influenced certain aspects of the decorative scheme. As carried out in New York there are similarities to the decorative scheme of the Paris Metro stations which had favorably impressed Parsons.
The architects devised a decorative scheme which had certain features in common for each station but incorporated distinctive elements to give each station its own identity. A sanitary cove base joins the floor and the side wall with its two and a half foot wainscoting of buff-colored Roman brick or rose-colored marble, completed by either a brick or marble cap.
Above the wainscoting the wall is covered with three by six inch white glass or glazed tile. Classically-derived moldings of glazed terra cotta or faience 10 form cornices near the ceiling level. The wall is divided into 15-foot panels, corresponding to the spacing of the platform columns, by colored encaustic mosaic tile or by brick or marble bands, and faience plaques designating the name of the station are set at 15-foot intervals in the cornice or frieze.
These plaques are often in the form of symbols which have some local association with the station. Large name tablets of mosaic or faience are set into the middle of the wall panels. Not only variations in symbols and name treatment but also variation in color, made possible by the use of faience and mosaic tile, help make each station distinct.
This use of color aroused favorable comment from architectural critic Herbert Croly. The general treatment of the entrance areas at platform level is similar.
The City Hall station, because of its role in serving the seat of New York City government, was conceived as being of special importance. As such it has a unique design. When the IRT plan called for City Hall as the southern terminus of the route , the station was planned with four tracks on a loop to allow for train turnaround.
However, with the 1898 plan to extend the line to Brooklyn -, changes were made in the City Hall station plan to provide a single loop track for the use of local trains, while express trains by-passed the station.
The unique feature which gives City Hall station its distinctive quality is the use of thin-shell timbrel vaults constructed according to the methods perfected and patented by Rafael Guastavino .
Guastavino, a Catalan who immigrated to the United States in 1881 with his son Rafael , had become, by 1900, the foremost engineer with the construction of thin-shell masonry vault systems in the United States. Using methods he had learned in his native Catalonian region of Spain, Guastavino perfected the vaulting system to a high art, devising special tiles and mortars for vault construction.
As devised by Guastavino the system consisted of a series of timbrel vaults composed of broad terra-cotta tiles laid with the curve of the vault in two or more layers and held together by mortar. Such vaults were very quick to construct for they did not require centering, falsework, or scaffolding.
Heins & LaFarge had previously utilized the Guastavino vaulting system for the main crossing of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
The curve of the vaults is ideally suited to the curved configuration of the station as it follows the single loop track. The vaults are constructed of white mat-finished tiles with contrasting green and brown glazed tiles at the edges of the vaults.
The younger Rafael Guastavino was especially interested in the development of ornamental and colored ceramic tile for Guastavino vaults. Leaded-glass skylights are placed in three of the vaults as well as in the Guastavino vault over the entrance area. The platform floors are constructed of poured concrete, and Roman brick forms the wainscoting and the wall surfaces within the curves of the vaults.
A marble wainscot cap is provided. Decorative faience plaques in brown, blue, and white with the inscription "City Hall" are set in the side walls. A large name tablet adorns the arch above the wide staircase leading from the platform to the entrance area. Two narrower staircases lead from the entrance area to the street level.
All components of City Hall station except the tracks are encompassed by this designation. The station has been closed to regular transit traffic since December 31, 1945, when trains and cars became too long to be accommodated by the curved platform. It is still used as a turnaround loop for No. 6 trains, and the station can be visited on tours.

The system evolves and some thing really change with cables, I needed a power cable for my new das and the tornado results perfectly with the ifi iDSD Pro.
Also brought a new audioquest diamond usb cable, it impressive the quantity of information this cable can extract from any recording, some cables can offer a lot of detail but not so perceptible as the diamond, it separates all the sounds with clarity, the diamond shows every single detail and texture on the music in a way the is not intrusive, after installing the audio quest diamond and put some tracks in Roon and Audirvana I was really admired but the clarity of the information of some track I liked and listened many times.
The bigger downside for me is that does not have a powerful bass, bas instead has a beautiful controlled one, the soundstage is another point where the Damond shines, it’s big very defined and tonal.
For example playing an old album of Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells 3 the first track of the album The Source of Secrets, the diamond shows in a perfect way the bass moving from one side to another in the beginning of the track.
The Audioquest Tornado and Diamond are very expensive cables, at this prices you begin to question the price benefit of the investment very seriously, but for me they justified the benefits for the price, If you have the money and looking for something similar these two should be on your list.
I thank Esotérico esoterico.pt to let be listen before I buy in my system.

Steve Lambropoulos, System Administrator for Information Technology, began his USF career in 2003 at the Sarasota-Manatee Campus, where he excelled at classroom technology and quickly moved into system administration. In 2009 he joined the Tampa campus as System Administrator and his time here has consistently set the standard for excellence in IT.
As one of the leaders in IT, Steve refuses to accept the status quo, choosing instead to rise above it. Recently, the Data Center received a request to build and deliver 5 servers needed for a class, and with only two days of notice. Rather than complain about the last minute request, Steve, understanding the need to provide a good start for the class and an appropriate learning experience, built the servers before the class started. Another recent project Steve has worked on created a solution that provided a better methodology for one of our core activities, saving $100,000 of funding that we would have needed to spend using the more traditional approach. Steve genuinely contributes an outstanding effort with each project he encounters.
In a letter of support for Steve’s nomination, Director for Data Center Infrastructure Michael Sink said, “On many occasions, Steve is called into a situation requiring the use of his unique problem solving skills; situations that even fall outside of his areas of expertise. We are still trying to figure out what actually falls outside of his area of expertise. Clearly, he is a person of great value to my team, to the entire IT organization, and to the university as a whole.”
