5th Avenue (BMT Broadway Subway)

Previous: 57th Street · Next: Lexington Avenue (59th Street)

5th Avenue Station · Opened 3/11/1920

Two tracks, two side platforms. This station has been totally renovated, and features the standard mosaic tile bands, icons, and name tablets, plus some extra decorative elements in the otherwise plain white wall tile (for instance, see the orange tile columns under the numeral icons in the photos). Mosaics indicating "Queens Trains" and "Brooklyn Trains" are in the 60th Street mezzanine. This mezzanine features a passageway to Fifth Avenue and Central Park and a crossover between directions. This station is skewed on the street grid to shift the line from 59th Street to 60th Street.

Artwork: Urban Oasis, Ann Schaumburger (1997)
