[5][6] Originally built by the Prospect Park and Coney Island Railroad for the Culver surface line, it later became a major terminal for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company (BRT).
On the east side of the terminal, there were four tracks and five high-level platforms for BRT elevated trains from the Culver and Brighton lines.
The westernmost pair were used by Culver trains, which continued north along the Fifth Avenue elevated towards Downtown Brooklyn and City Hall in Manhattan.
[3][11][12][13][14] Across from the station on the south side of Surf Avenue was Culver Plaza, illuminated by gas lights, and lined with grass and flower gardens.
It originally had only ground-level loading and unloading areas for passengers, shared by both rapid transit and streetcars.
[27] The site of Culver Depot is now occupied by some housing projects, specifically the Brightwater Towers and Trump Village West.
