Bridgeport Planned Grand Station by Warren Briggs
A 1903 Bridgeport railroad station redesign by Stratford architect Warren R. Briggs featured a concrete ramp, elevated tracks, and a grand 203 foot long station with a tower. Plans called for terrazzo floors, white marble wainscotting, red tile roof, and a subway understage, with a 160 by 70 foot waiting room and 12 foot high tower above street.
