It was one of eight substations constructed by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company in 1904-05.

The substation is a two-story, free-standing masonry building in the Beaux-Arts style. It features hipped roof, tower-like projections, scrolled wrought iron brackets, and terra cotta decorative details.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
