8th Avenue Station · Opened 6/13/1931The 8th Avenue station is next and last,
and is the terminus of the Canarsie Line. This station opened in
1931, and was not originally built like a BMT station, rather, it was
built in the same style as the IND station with which it shares a
transfer point. As originally constructed, a simple blue tile band
adorned the wall. A major reconstruction
and renovation in 1999 allowed the spirit of Dual Contracts designer Squire J. Vickers to catch up with this station - a new frieze in the Vickers
Canarsie Line style was designed and installed along the track side walls. Tan and beige at
the edges, with brick red, jasmine yellow, lime green and dark green
in the faithfully-reproduced "crazy quilt" pattern, it is adorned with
a dark green border, maroon vertical stripes, and perfectly-recreated
blue hexagonal icons with white "8"s on them. Brown borders and
accents complete the design. New white tile can be found in the
rampways. Winding staircases with many landings lead to the IND upper
level and the IND 8th Avenue Line.
