Summary

Description
English: The defunct City Hall subway station in New York City, closed since 1945. The station has several skylights. Most of them are built into the arches above the platform. This is the sole circular skylight above the mezzanine. Visible from above in the middle of the City Hall parking lot.
Español: Tragaluz en la antigua estación de metro City Hall en la ciudad de Nueva York. La estación, que destacó por sus elementos decorativos, abrió el 27 de octubre de 1904 y cerró en 1945 porque estaba construida en una curva ineficiente que no podía acomodar trenes nuevos y más largos.

Українська: Мансардне вікно на колишній станції метро «Сіті-хол» у Нью-Йорку. Станція була відкрита 27 жовтня 1904 року, а закрита в 1945 році. Вона відзначилася своїми декоративними елементами, але була закрита, оскільки побудована на неефективній кривій, яка не могла вмістити новіші, довші поїзди.
