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]
This elevated station has two tracks and one island platform.[11] The canopy is short and has a squared off, flat roofline.
The artwork here, THE VIEW FROM HERE by Barbara Ellmann, was installed in 2007. This artwork is supposed to be evocative of structures in the surrounding area.[12][13][14]
The station's only entrance and exit is a center mezzanine under the tracks with wooden floors and walls. This mezzanine is to the geographic south of the northbound track. Outside of fare control, two stairs go to southwest and southeast corners of Fulton Street and Van Siclen Avenue.[15]
