East 180 Street
Station Villa
Laminated glass, stone and glass mosaic
By Luisa Caldwell
A mixture of mosaics in a variety of forms, line historic station, this includes stained glass windows in the passageway to the platforms, glass mosaics along the walkways beneath the historic 1912 station building, and even mosaic murals above the 3 entrances that complement the historic and restored station nicely. These murals are of floral patterns primarily, but also have some with wild animals interacting with the flowers, inspired by the nearby Bronx Zoo.
