The address is 18-82 Willoughby Ave, but the garage faces Onderdonk Ave. years who the wall was intact, but there was a door that was too small for the frame on the garage.
I think that was the DeKalb ave trolly dispatch where the motormen clocked in and took breaks. It was moved ages ago. I remember my uncle grandfather showing me something like this not far from Knickerbocker park in the 60's
My mom (82) says that was a small "scarey" L train eastbound kiosk that was by the flushing & Thames street triangle for the Jefferson street stop. She remembers part or all of it being green with a "LL" globe and the size of a hotdog stand
I kind of remember this now taking the LL from my grandparents to Ridgewood (Halsey street) with my mom I think the center window 'was" the entrance from the step to the top. The door and its cut must be modifications after it was moved and converted for re-use. --Yeah it was unlike any other kiosk or steps on the system. I think it existed till around 1968 when we moved out of that slum to Seneca & Norman
If you google map the Morgan ave stop on the LL you see a wider (2 track ?) like kiosk, front face redone brick & concrete with 2 entrances. I remember the globes being "LL" (mom says "L")I guess depending on which ones weren't smashed and replaced. The trains were square & charcoal black with a box on top. I no doubt remember this all being summer right before that nasty hurricane "Camille?" that flooded the basement. 1968-1969 perhaps ??

The question is how many UNDISCOVERED species are living in that garage
It looks like the residence from a Charlie Chaplin movie.
jacob riis had a photo shoot there I believe.
some hipsters will see this and turn it into some art collective hangout.
Do hipsters and hobos count as species?

No, the trolley facility was on Seneca.
Put it on a flatbed and move it to the shores of the Newtown Creek
Perfect for a hipster boat house.

The Line didn't get the LL designation until 1967.
