History[edit]
The station opened on December 3, 1885, as part of a one station extension of the Lexington Avenue Line from Alabama Avenue.[2][6][7] This station was the eastern terminus of the line until May 30, 1893, when it was extended to Cypress Hills.[8]
This station was closed from March 25 to August 6, 2006, in order to be rehabilitated. As part of the rehabilitation project, the stairs were rehabilitated, the floors were renewed, major structural repairs were made, new canopies were installed, the area around the station booth was reconfigured, the platform edge strips were replaced, walls were replaced, and a high-quality public address system was installed.[9] The rehabilitation project cost $8.52 million.[10]
