The 53rd Street and Eighth Avenue station was a station on the demolished IRT Sixth Avenue Line in Manhattan, New York City.
It was built in 1881 by the Manhattan Railway Company as part of an effort to connect the northern end of the Sixth Avenue Line to the Ninth Avenue Line.
It had three tracks and two side platforms, and was served by trains from the IRT Sixth Avenue Line.
As a result, it became the last station on the Sixth Avenue Line before merging at a sharp curve with the Ninth Avenue Line.
In 1932, the Independent Subway System built the 50th Street Station three blocks to the south on the Eighth Avenue Subway with an additional lower level in 1933, thus rendering the elevated station and line obsolete.
