High Street–Brooklyn Bridge is a subway station on the IND Eighth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. The station is built in a tube design. It is the northern-most Brooklyn stop for A and C trains. There are exits at both ends to the full length mezzanine along with evidence of removed center exits (since this station was built, the area now known as Cadman Plaza was completely rebuilt).
The north exit leads to Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn Heights and the south exits onto Adams Street, on the border of Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO and Downtown Brooklyn, adjacent to the central courthouse for the Federal Eastern District of New York.
The tile band at this station is a small "High" printed on the walls in a dark purple color scheme. Escalators connect the fare control to the platforms, presumably due to the depth of the station.
Ironically, High Street is not directly accessible from the station, as the short one block street is blocked by a parking lot.
