This PATH station has side platforms, which are not connected by a crossover or crossunder. The southbound platform shares a mezzanine area with the IND Sixth Avenue Line's station at 14th Street, yet the northbound platform exits directly to the street.^[2]

The original station, opened on February 25, 1908,^[3] was modified slightly as a result of the building of the Sixth Avenue Line. The platforms were extended to the south, and the northern ends were closed. This allowed the downtown platform to share a street entrance with the downtown IND subway.

The southbound platform was renovated in 1986.^[4]

North of this station is the abandoned 19th Street station,^[5] which was the original northern terminus of the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad. It opened on February 25, 1908,^[3] and closed on August 1, 1954.^[6] It is now used for storing mechanical equipment and is still visible from trains travelling between 14th Street and 23rd Street.
