[6][7][8] The present elevated station was built in 1913, when the Port Washington Branch was rebuilt through this area during a grade crossing elimination project through Broadway–Flushing, Murray Hill, and Flushing.

[6][9][10][11] As part of this project, which was executed by the New York Public Service Commission, new high-level platforms were constructed in addition to the current station house.

[6][7][9][10] The tracks were also raised onto an embankment at the west end of the station, thereby eliminating the grade crossings at Broadway and 162nd Street by allowing the tracks to pass over the road – and its east end was depressed, allowing the line to continue east in an open cut and for roads to cross above it.

[16] Ticket machines are located on the outside of the station house on platform A and are Full Service and Daily versions.

Tactile platform edge strips are also present which meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
