Overview
Opened: 11/23/1904
Two tracks and two side platforms. The fare control is at platform level and there is no crossover or crossunder between the two sides. Renovated in 1998, there is all new wall tile along the platforms, and the "116" terra cotta wall cartouches have been restored. This and the next three stations have extensive mosaics featuring Harlem history and famous African-Americans.
