This underground station has two side platforms and four tracks. The two center express tracks do not have any platforms. There is a crossover and a single double wide stairway to the mezzanine. There are no ads in the station.
This station was an unfinished shell during World War II that couldn't be finished because of material shortages from the war effort. This meant the station got a sightly different tile job and design for the mezzanine compared to the rest of the local stations along the line. This station opened on November 28, 1948, along with the rest of the Fulton Street Line from East New York to Euclid Avenue.[2]
