103rd Street–Corona Plaza is a local station on the IRT Flushing Line. There are no windscreens at either ends of both platforms. Exit is in the center via a wooden mezzanine, featuring a crossunder and windows. The fare control is IND-style and the station has covered old signs.
This station originally opened as Alburtis Avenue. It was later renamed to 104th Street, giving the possibility of a sealed exit at the north end. From 1917 to 1925, this station was a terminal for the Astoria and Corona Lines.
