Station Code

The station was opened on November 23, 1904, as part of the development of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) network, up to 145th Street near Lenox Avenue. After 3 days, traffic was opened across the line on the IRT White Plains Road Line . Passing the station, a third connecting path is formed between the tracks, which is not used today. From 1995 to 2005, the section of the line from the final Harlem - 148th Street and up to 135th Street was one of the few sections of the New York Metro that do not work at night. Between the stations at night went a shuttle bus. Due to the fact that there was an end station in a closed area, this station became a new temporary end point for 3 .

To the north of the station, the tracks depart, forming the IRT White Plains Road Line , which follows the Bronx and which operates on 2 .

Platforms are made in a mosaic design on the themes: Adam Clayton Powell, Joe Louis , Clara Ward, Louis Armstrong , Charlie Parker , the Harlem Globrotters basketball team, the organization NAACP , and others.
