The new Atlantic Terminal is here (officially opening yesterday), and here's a look back on the old Flatbush Avenue Terminal, which used to be the LIRR's station in the area — currently where the Atlantic Terminal Mall stands. More photos of the old station, which opened in 1907, can be seen here and here. By the late '70s "the stores and offices were unoccupied, vandals entered and their looting caused water damage so severe that the upper waiting room was closed to the public."
