History
On March 12, 1906, the IRT's Broadway line was extended from the line's previous terminus at 157th Street to 221st Street, which would serve as the line's temporary terminus.
The station was closed with the extension of service over a bridge over the Harlem Ship Canal to Marble Hill – 225th Street on January 14, 1907.[1] After service was discontinued at 221st Street, the structure was dismantled and moved to 230th Street and Broadway for a new temporary terminus.
