 electrical substation, 1906_construction, railway traction substation, metro entrance / exit

4-story substation completed in 1906. Designed by Robins & Oakman for the New York & New Jersey Railroad Company (Hudson Tubes), now operated by PATH. It is clad in dark brown brick, with two large doors at the ground floor on Greenwich Street with segmental arches and keystones above. Single rectangular-shaped windows and louvers are arranged in groups of three above the two doors, and a broad band course of stone above provides a base for the low brick roof parapet.

The Christopher Street PATH station, opened on February 25, 1908, is located on Christopher Street, where the building rises five stories, with a red brick facade. The 2nd through 4th floors feature triple windows contained within a segmental arch with an intricate stone carving at its keystone. The ground floor is of stone, with a restored, curved metal marquee covering the entry and displaying the original "Hudson Tunnels" name adorning the entrance way. Passengers descend a narrow stairway with a number of curves before arriving at the southwest end of the narrow center island platform.
