I remember eon's ago when they remodeled this station to what it is now...wow, I'm getting old.

I remember the orange tiles as this was my stop in 1978.
I worked at 1 Battery Park Plaza.
Do you know approx. the year of the station remodel?

Thanks for posting to UA-cam. I really enjoyed it. Have lived all my life in NYC, ride the MTA trains often. But until two weeks ago, never had any reason to go to the Bowling Green station. It really fascinated me! The outdoor kiosk entrance, narrow stairway, fence divider, orange tiles, posters. It was a slice of Ye Olde New York.

Not too many bowling greens left in NYC I dare say....a small number of cricket grounds maybe....but lawn bowls....nah
