In the subway of New York, they found an inscription left by a Russian builder in 1922.
During repair work at Bedford Avenue Station, a mysterious inscription dated 1922 was discovered by the year. The secret of this inscription was revealed by New York photographer Mark Hermann, who discovered Russian roots from the author of graffiti.
The modernization of the metro system could take up to 10 years, but it took the MTA staff less than a week to solve the riddle of the 97-year-old inscription recently discovered at Bedford Avenue station, writes AMNY. "1922 HYATT" was written on the wall in the subway.
When representatives of the metro could not understand what graffiti might be connected with, they turned to the public for help.
After numerous reviews in the L Project Weekly newsletter, MTA stated that the mystery had been solved. It is assumed that the author of the graffiti was Nathan Hyatt, a resident of Brooklyn of Russian origin, who worked as a civil engineer.
Who helped with the solution? Mark Hermann, a full-time MTA photographer who retrieved census data, city records and other evidence supporting his theory.
Hyatt was hired as a junior engineer by the State Transit Commission in 1921 and passed the state service exam in 1922. He became an assistant engineer, according to records discovered by Hermann. His name was also found in the list of engineering assistants from 1922 of the year.
The inscription was found on the section of the wall, where after the completion of the repair an extended superstructure will be performed. The station will also add eight new stairs and several new elevators.
