In this picture, you can see the now-removed entrance to the IND 182nd-183rd Streets station that was on 183rd Street. This intersection used to have 4 entrances to the station (which can be seen in the others photos on this site), which were removed sometime in 1990s. The only entrances to the station now are at 182nd Street, which makes the station's name a misnomer.

Between 1939 and 1941, the Works Progress Administration collaborated with the New York City Tax Department to collect photographs of most buildings in the five boroughs of New York City. In 2018, the NYC Municipal Archives completed the digitization and tagging of these photos. This website places them on a map.
