Crescent Street station (BMT Fulton Street Line)

The Crescent Street station was a station on the demolished BMT Fulton Street Line in Brooklyn, New York City. It had two tracks and two side platforms.[2] It was served by trains of the BMT Fulton Street Line. The next stop to the east was Grant Avenue. The station was opened on July 16, 1894, and is one of three stations to extend the Fulton Street Line closer to Queens. The next stop to the west was Chestnut Street. On November 28, 1948, the Independent Subway System built the underground Euclid Avenue Subway station three blocks south then two blocks west after years of war-time construction delays. This station rendered both Crescent Street station and the nearby Chestnut Street station obsolete, and it closed on April 26, 1956.[3]

For the station actually at Crescent Avenue and Fulton Street, see Crescent Street (BMT Jamaica Line).
