Open House New York Spotlight: MTA Substation

There are so many Open House New York sites open this weekend, and so little time to see them all! So we picked two that seemed interesting: this MTA powerstation on 53rd Street (built in 1901 by Heins & Lafarge, with help from McKim, Mead and White,) and the Newtown Creek Water Treatment Plant (which we'll tour tomorrow morning.) We need your help to visit the rest: please send your on-location pictures to photos@gothamist.com or tag them "gothamist" on Flickr, and we'll put up a gallery tomorrow night.

Contact the author of this article or email tips@gothamist.com with further questions, comments or tips.

That substation would be perfect for a fetish photoshoot. Too bad the city wouldn't approve it. There's always Photoshop.

There is also a Flickr pool for Open House New York, with > 1,300 photos as of now.

An advantage to also putting your shots there is the map. While participants vary from year to year, the map can be helpful.
