The street entrance to Bushwick Avenue - Aberdeen Street station.

This station has two tracks and two side platforms.[3] The side platforms are slightly curved and the two tracks are at different levels at the north end of the station, with the southbound tracks being higher due to their descent from an elevated stretch at Wilson Avenue.[3]

The entrance to this underground station is in a small building on the north side of Bushwick Avenue between Aberdeen Street and DeSales Place.[3] In this space are 11-foot (3.4 m) high coffered ceilings, suspended light fixtures, and fancy ironwork.[3] Parchment brown replacement tiles can be observed.[3] The pillars are covered in white tile, with mosaics on each one bearing the station's name, "Bushwick Aberdeen".[3] The elaborate porcelain mosaic band is predominantly tan, peach, mauve and brown with yellow, cream, green, rosy beige, slate blue, indigo and black grape tiles in the center.[3] In the mezzanine, there are also bright aqua tiles, as well as the above-mentioned brown replacements.[3][4]
