The City Hall station opened in 1904 as part of the first subway line in New York, and closed in 1945, but there's one way you can still see it.

Viera delved deeper into its history, saying:"Let's take a small interjection to show you something cool here at the Manhattan Municipal Building, which is where the station is located You can see over Guastavino tile Great example and these tiles are famous all around New York City, and they're also in Grand Central Terminal and a few other major New York city skyscrapers."

"So now we're going to turn back and get a ride back to the station we started in. The Brooklyn Bridge / City Hall stop. So that's how you see it. Stick onto the last train in the 6 train, stay beyond the last stop and you'll see it and you'll get back to where you started.". But in the comments, Viera stressed:"I don't condone trespassing of any kind. Please respect the rules of the subway system.

The Interborough Rapid Transit subway was the first line to open on October 27 1904, according to website"Unusually elegant in architectural style, it is unique among the original IRT stations. The platform and mezzanine feature Guastavino arches and skylights, colored glass tilework, and brass chandeliers," it said.Museum of the City of New York/Getty Images

As the population of the city increased, as did the need for longer trains, but City Hall's unique design meant it was impractical to lengthen the platform.
