This elevated station, opened on June 2, 1917, and rehabilitated in 2004, has three tracks and two side platforms. Both platforms have beige windscreens and mesh fences and red canopies with green frames and support columns in the center and white steel waist-level fences at either ends with white lampposts at regular intervals.

The station's only entrance/exit is an elevated station house beneath the tracks. Inside fare control, it has two staircases to each platform at the center and a waiting area that allows a free transfer between directions. Outside fare control, it has a turnstile bank, token booth, and three street stairs going down to either side of Jerome Avenue between 170th Street and Elliot Place, two to the east side and one to the west.

The 2005 artwork here is called Views from Above by Dina Bursztyn. It features stained glass windows on the platform windscreens and station house based on Bursztyn's experience on riding elevated trains.
