History

[edit]

This station was built under theDual Contracts. It opened on March 3, 1917, as part of an extension of the IRT White Plains Road Line fromEast 177th Street–East Tremont Avenue toEast 219th Street–White Plains Road, providing the Bronx communities ofWilliamsbridge andWakefield with access to rapid transit service. Service on the new portion of the line was operated as a four-car shuttle from 177th Street due to the power conditions at the time.^[3]^[4]^[5] The city government took over the IRT's operations on June 12, 1940.^[6]^[7]

It was renovated in 2007 at a cost of $12.92 million.^[8]

This elevated station has three tracks and twoside platforms.^[9] Old signs at the center exit stairs and have been painted over, but those on the southbound platform are still visible through the paint. Covered windows in the concrete wall are also present.^{[citation needed]}

This station and the Pelham Parkway station are the only stations on the White Plains Road Line to be built in decorative concrete structures. The entrances at this station were built in this manner as Sagamore Street was the new main entrance toBronx Park.^[10]

South of this station, one can view theIRT Dyre Avenue Line just off to the east. Continuing south, theUnionport Yard is also to the east past the connection to the Dyre Avenue Line. TheEast 180th Street Yard is to the west just prior to entering the next station,East 180th Street.^[9]

Exits

[edit]

The tiledmezzanine has windows and standard "Uptown" and "Downtown" mosaics. The mezzanine itself is made of stucco over concrete and is massive. There are exits to all corners of Birchall Avenue and Sagamore Street except for the southwest corner, which had its exit sealed for unknown reasons.^[13]
