Series II: Models and Exhibits

Scope and Contents

Series I and II includes photographs and photostats of Weindorf's original work for the Public Service Commission. Drawings and models of subway tunnels, subway stations, subway line extensions, and other subway-related engineering issues can be found here. Many photos of drawings are mounted on thick brown scrapbook paper, with some items affixed to the verso.

Titles are transcribed, or, if in brackets, were assigned during processing. All sketches are by Weindorf unless otherwise noted.
