I just noticed that the Astor Place subway kiosk in New York City has some dimensional differences from the blue prints I have.
The Astor Place entrance has an elongated “mid-section” with an extra window. Because of this, the angle of the middle is different. The width is also doubled from the original blue prints to accomodate a double stairway (up and down). Some of the molding on the Astor Place version is also modified.
The Astor Place entrance is a replica, build to match the style of the originals. Because of this, I’ve opted to follow the blueprints more closely, but because I also need to reference Astor Place photos, I will likely need to take some creative license to make this work as well as possible.
