List of closed New York City Subway entrances

Posted by Union Tpke on Mon Jan 29 16:48:39 2018

I am compiling a list of closed entrances in the subway. If anyone here knows any that I missed please respond, or add it to the list. Thanks.

The Mosholu Parkway south entrance was rebuilt and reopened several years ago.

I notice your footnote 7 quotes an Alan Minor who's writing a thesis on closed stations. Have you contacted him?

I know, but they include many platform stairs, not just entrances.

Per nycsubway.org the station was renovated in 2005, so it must have been then.

Here are some that come to mind.

Union Tpk & Queens Blv (under Queens Blv)
Roosevelt Ave & Willets Pt Blv

I know of the one at Kew Gardens. I live right nearby. I was going to add it later. Thanks for the others. Which station would the 38th Street entrance belong to: 34th or 42nd?

Both. It led to the currently disused mezzanine that stretches under 6 avenue between those 2 stations.

Probably just "Independent Lines," with destinations - uptown, downtown, Bronx, Queens, etc. Back in the day, station names were not listed on the sidewalk signs.

Didn't it close in the early 1990s? If so, the sign would have been updated.

It was part of the Sutphin Blv Station.

I used to use that entrance to get to Harrison Radio, which was located at 144th and Hillside. This goes back to the middle to late 1950's.

Forest Ave lost an entire mezzanine, I'm not sure when it closed, but it was demolished in the early 90s when I was a little kid.

it closed decades ago. Probably in the late 60's. But the entrance to the stairs on the platform was covered with boards so people could not enter. At some point a guy realized it was an obstruction and raped a woman there. NYCT ended up leveling the entrance remnants at platform level creating a flat surface so the entire length of the platform could be seen.

The entrances/exits at 102nd Street-Liberty Avenue on the IND Fulton Street Line's 104th Street(Oxford Avenue) station had reopened, as part of the station rehab project. There is no crossunder there, so each of them are separate in each direction, and use HEET's.

4th/9th East side is definitely re-opened.
It happened somewhere around 3 years ago.

On the Concourse line, there are closed entrances at 174th-175th Streets and at 182nd-183rd Streets. Also at 155th Street-8th Avenue. At 175th Street and Morris Avenue right under the Concourse, well preserved. Also East and west sides of Concourse near Anthony Avenue - these are sealed-up. The one near the Polo Grounds Houses may have been obliterated at street level.

I guess you could technically say Flushing - Main Street lost its entrances that were a bit east of Main Street on Roosevelt Avenue, although they were replaced with newer entrances further up the block.

The stairs still exist beneath the street grates, and lead to what's now just an equipment room in the employee facility.

Smith Street Staircases (Re: List of closed New York City Subway entrances)

Posted by Mitch45 on Wed Jan 31 15:23:19 2018, in response to List of closed New York City Subway entrances, posted by Union Tpke on Mon Jan 29 16:48:39 2018.

There used to be two entrances on Smith Street between Livingston and Fulton in downtown Brooklyn. One was located in the sidewalk of what is now 1 Smith Street (the old Schrafft's store) and the other was across the street adjacent to what is now Lane Bryant. Until fairly recently, the one next to Lane Bryant still had the ironwork for the lighted globe and decorative rails that surround the stairway. The staircase itself was covered with a flimy piece of corrugated steel, the same kind that covers the cellar stairways for storefronts. I think in 2016 NYCT took off the corrugated steel and I was able to look down the stairs. The entrance was then concreted off and all of the ironwork was removed.

What station did these stairs lead to? If it was Jay Street/Boro Hall, they must have been at the very far end of the station.

Yeah, there were at for Jay Street-Borough Hall, and before the re-tiling of the station, including on the platforms, there were small directional mosaics for "Smith Street". I do recall the two entrances you mentioned there.

Still there, and the platform stairs are present but completely sealed off. Would be a great candidate for reopening IMO.
