Train Station - Atlantic Ave Control House 1910 Jigsaw Puzzle
Colourized photo from 1910, August
Original Title: Atlantic Ave, Subway Entrance
Location: 579 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, New York
This is the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), subway station, it was originally built in 1907. On the left is the Heins and LaFarge subway kiosk built in 1908. The building was designed to have an artistic flair, built in the Flemish Revival Style. It served as the underground access point for the trains below.
Elevated trains were very popular a 100 years ago. It allowed people to get off the busy streets and go right to your destination. However they were replaced with a better subway system, and many of these tracks were taken apart. This one was taken apart in 1941.
Today, on this very spot, you can still see this very building. However its no longer a building, its being used as a portal for light for the current subway. They say that if you walk in from the current entrance, and move back about 30 ft or so, look up, and you'll see the inside of this little building.

I got this image in 110 pieces as I cannot commit to large puzzles. This one took me about an hour and was fairly easy. Perhaps 252 pieces would have better suited me for a little more complexity. This is not my favourite sugar skull as I prefer more girly colours like hot pink, reds and purples but I enjoyed doing this one. There is a lot of detail in the image and it was interesting to do. I don't think I will buy the larger puzzle count just because there are other sugar skull images that I much prefer.
Again very good quality puzzle and durable storage box that fits very well on small bookcase. The image was well positioned on this one so who ever printed this one got it pretty bang on.

I like puzzles but can't commit to thousands of pieces. I chose this one in 110 pieces because I wanted a challenge that could be completed in a few hours. This one took approx 3.5 hours to complete. The image is pretty uniform throughout so may seem daunting but some of the jigsaw pieces are quite unique which helps. You definitely need a good eye for detail and this puzzle is challenging and engaging giving the satisfaction of completion after a relatively short commitment of time.
I do not like thousands of pieces because I don't have the time or motivation to keep going back to a puzzle which needs to be stored and moved and this can result in a loss of pieces.
The box the puzzle is supplied in is good quality and will store the puzzle safely for a long time. The box also fits on one of my small bookcase so storage is very easy. The puzzle print is slightly smaller than the image on the box and this makes orientation of the puzzle harder. The image is of really good quality though and I'm happy with the quality of this aspect.
