157th Street (IRT West Side Line)

Previous: 145th Street · Next: 168th Street

157th Street Station · Opened 11/12/1904

Next is 157th Street which has very narrow platforms. It has mosaics similar to those at 145th Street, except the color scheme tends more to brown and green rather than blue and grey. Again, there is a mix of styles - the original cartouches are like those at 79th Street and 91st Street with the two opposing triangles, and there is also 30's style tile where the platforms were extended. The ceiling is also rather low at one end of the station.
