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.

Notice it's held the weekend that subway service is a complete clusterf***.

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.

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