This is part of a series in which I will be visiting every subway stop in New York City and taking photos of what I find there.  To see other photos from this series, go to the Categories section on your right and scroll down to The City by Subway.  To see where in the city the photos here were taken, scroll all the way down past the photos to the subway map at the bottom.

There is a lot of construction going on in MetroTech Center!

The thing that struck me most about this neighborhood is the combination of old and new everywhere you look…

…a lot of which is positively picturesque!

By far the most striking example of the old coexisting with the new is these four 19th Century houses set against the backdrop of the highrises that have grown up all around them.  (You can learn a bit more about these houses here.)

It was quite a surprise to come around the corner and find this little scene, as you can imagine!  Talk about fascinating incongruity!

Here are some miscellaneous photos from the rest of my exploration.  I found myself focusing a lot on cool architectural details that caught my eye.  And the sun was at a particularly helpful angle that day.

And here, as promised, is the subway map where you can see where in Brooklyn I was:
