23rd Street (IRT East Side Line)

Previous: 18th Street · Next: 28th Street

23rd Street Station · Opened 10/27/1904

23rd Street is next and has been renovated. There are IND-type signs indicating the way to 22nd and 23rd Sts. An ornate fare control grille on the southbound side is actually an artwork entitled Long Division, by artist Valerie Jaudon, which was installed during station renovations in 1988. The station features a back-lit "23rd Street/Park Avenue South" sign at the platform-level fare control. There is a low tiled wall at the 22nd street end which is a probable remnant of a closed crossunder.
