Description
Church Avenue is an open-cut express station with short tunnels at each end to carry the line between cross streets. Each platform has two staircases, leading to a stationhouse at each end. The full-time end of the station is at Church Ave, to the south. The original stationhouse was demolished and replaced with the current structure. Plain white tiles dot the interior and exterior of this entrance. There are restrooms inside the fare control to the right side. The part-time entrance is at the north end of the station by Caton Avenue and St. Pauls Place, and the stationhouse there retains the original c. 1918 exterior. This end of the station originally had a part-time booth during the morning rush; a high-exit turnstile was open at all other times. After the 1980s renovation, the station was converted to booth operations from 7:00 to 22:00 every day. All of the platform columns were covered with steel supports during the renovation. At the midpoint, the southbound platform has an abandoned exit to East 18th Street between Church and Caton Avenues. The exterior of the stationhouse was made with brick and stucco, and was added in the early 1960s. The boarded-up staircase still stands.
History
The original station at this location was a two-track side-platform station that ran south from Church Avenue, whereas the current station runs north. At a point about 150 feet south of Church Avenue a clear difference in the form of the concrete retaining wall is visible on both sides of the right-of-way. This marks the point where the original Brighton Beach Line transitioned from an open-cut line depressed below ground level to a surface railroad for the remainder of the run to Coney Island. The line south of this point was converted from a two-track surface line to a four-track grade-separated line in 1907, and the portion north of this point was rebuilt from a two-track open cut to a four-track open cut in 1919. After August 1, 1920, through service was shifted from the current BMT Franklin Avenue Line to a new subway alignment under Flatbush Avenue, which permitted direct access to Manhattan via the Manhattan Bridge.
