104th Street is a skip-stop station on the BMT Jamaica Line of the New York City Subway, located on Jamaica Avenue between 102nd and 104th Streets. The south exit at 102nd Street is closed, but the mezzanine and the stairs to the street and platforms are still present. The north exit at 104th Street has a wooden-clad crossover mezzanine with concrete floor and windscreens half-way up the stairs from the platform. It is served by the Z train during rush hours in the peak direction and by the J train at all other times.
The station was originally built on June 11, 1917 by the Brooklyn Union Elevated Railroad, an affiliate of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, and is near the old Brooklyn Manor station on the LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch, which was closed in 1962. Until 1966, this station was known as 102nd Street. It was then given the dual name of 102nd–104th Streets. As of 2007, station signage and the official map give the station name as 104th Street,[2] but the published timetable gives the name as 104th–102nd Sts.[3]
