The station resembles Prospect Avenue, with three tracks and two side platforms. It also has heaters, a wooden mezzanine and floor and an open old booth similar to Simpson Street.

Freeman Street was opened on November 26, 1904, and was a terminal for the Bergen Avenue By-pass spur of the IRT Third Avenue Line prior to 1955. On July 10, 1905 the "IRT Broadway Express Line" was constructed at Jackson Avenue, and the station began serving these trains as well. It was renovated in 2004.
