TheBeverley Road station is a localstation on theBMT Brighton Line of theNew York City Subway. It is located over a private right-of-way at Beverly Road between Marlborough Road/East 15th Street and East 16th Street in the neighborhood ofFlatbush, Brooklyn. The station is served by theQ train at all times.[5]
The original station at this location was opened around 1900 as a two-track street-levelside platform station running south from agrade crossing at Beverley Road. The station was established to serve the then-newupscale planned community ofProspect Park South. The current station house and below-grade platforms were completed at the end of 1907, and have been on theNational Register of Historic Places since 2004.[6]
On August 1, 1920, a tunnel underFlatbush Avenue opened, connecting the Brighton Line to theBroadway subway in Manhattan.[7][8] At the same time, the line's former track connections to theFulton Street Elevated were severed. Subway trains from Manhattan and elevated trains fromFranklin Avenue served Brighton Line stations, sharing the line toConey Island.[8][9]
During the 1964–1965 fiscal year, the platforms at Beverley Road, along with those at six other stations on the Brighton Line, were lengthened to 615 feet (187 m) to accommodate a ten-car train of 60 feet (18 m)-long cars, or a nine-car train of 67 feet (20 m)-long cars.[10]
In April 1993, theNew York State Legislature agreed to give the MTA $9.6 billion for capital improvements. Some of the funds would be used to renovate nearly one hundred New York City Subway stations,[11][12] including Beverley Road.[13]

This open-cut station has four tracks and twoside platforms, typical for a New York City Subway local station.[14]
This station's name is spelled with three "e"s while theBeverly Road station on theIRT Nostrand Avenue Line on the same street is spelled with three "e"s. That is because the street is split in half atFlatbush Avenue. To the west, it is spelled with three "e"s and to the east, formerly with two; the Brighton Line station serves the western half of Beverley Road.[15] The 1907 station-house was the focus of an early 1990s in-house renovation. Sitting on theopen-cut portion of theBrighton Line, another gentle curve to the right is at the far north end along with clearly visible platform extensions, allowing passengers to watch trains betweenChurch Avenue andCortelyou Road.[citation needed] The Beverley Road and Cortelyou Road stations are the closest operational stations in the New York City Subway system, being 500 ft (150 m) apart.[16]
The station's sole entrance is through a station house at Beverly Road between Marlborough Road and East 16th Streets.[17] The station-house features artwork calledGarden Stops by Patsy Norvell, which has etched images of leaves on the glass windows insidefare control facing the south. The artwork can be seen from both inside themezzanine and while standing on either platform to the south; this artwork is also visible at the neighboringCortelyou Road station.[18] Colors at this station are green and beige.
