Vestiges of the spur built to reconnect the Brighton Line and Long Island Rail Road's Bay Ridge Branch after grade separation still exist to this day.

On August 1, 1920, a tunnel under Flatbush Avenue opened, connecting the Brighton Line to the Broadway subway in Manhattan.

It consists of murals and mosaics on the walls of the Coney Island-bound platform's main staircase depicting various species of birds.

The station's main house is located underneath the right-of-way on the south side of Avenue J and has a full-time turnstile bank and token booth.

[11] Both platforms have an unstaffed bank of turnstiles leading to a staircase that goes down to the north side of Avenue J.
