Service was initially operated as a four-car shuttle from 177th Street due to the power conditions at the time.

On either ends, both platforms have black waist-high fences made of steel, with white lampposts at regular intervals.

It consists of stained glass panels on the platform windscreens and station house depicting plants, fruits, and trees, being inspired by the New York Botanical Garden.

Outside fare control, there is a token booth and two staircases going down to either northern corners of White Plains Road and East 233rd Street.
