The station was located at the intersection of Myrtle and Nostrand Avenues in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.

The initial section of the line opened on April 10, 1888, running over Myrtle Avenue from Johnson and Adams Streets to a junction with what was then known as the Main Line at Grand Avenue.

[2][3][4][5] On October 4, 1969, the section of the Myrtle Avenue Elevated between Broadway and Jay Street, including Nostrand Avenue station, was closed and was demolished soon after.

[6] The elevated station had two tracks and one island platform.

The station house was located at the western end of the station, and staircases led to the western corners of Nostrand Avenue and Myrtle Avenue.
