for chaining purposes along the Brighton Line from the Manhattan Bridge to Coney Island. Although they cannot be accessed at Avenue H, the southbound and northbound express tracks are known as A3 and A4, respectively. Exits Northbound station house The main entrance is the station house on the east side of the tracks, adjacent to the northbound platform on the south side of Avenue H. Designed in a similar Colonial Revival and Queen Anne style to the neighborhood's residences, the station house is one story high and contains wooden shingles on its facade. The pyramidal roof is covered in asphalt shingles and has a brick corbelled chimney. A portico with peeled-log wooden posts wraps around the station house, with overhanging eaves. The station house, designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission as a city landmark in 2004, is the only such structure in the New York City Subway system that was not originally intended as a rapid transit facility. There are several doorways into the station house. The Avenue H facade, along the north side of the station building, consists of four bays with two wood-and-glass doors leading to the fare control area. The East 16th Street facade, along the east side, also is four bays wide but contains two wood-and-glass doors, a storefront, and a roll-down gate. There is modern signage along the exterior of the station house. Inside the station house, there are turnstiles and a full-time booth. There is also a HEET adjacent to the station house, from which a stair leads to the northbound platform, and an underpass leads to a single staircase to the Coney Island-bound platform. Access to these stairs is also available via turnstiles in the underpass. There is an exit-only turnstile on either side of the underpass. Southbound station house Another station house is on the north end of the southbound platform, adjacent to the west side of the track. The ADA-accessible ramp and a stair leads to the unstaffed brick station house. The ramp wraps around the station house to adjust for the height difference between the station house and ground level. This station house contains a bank of regular and High Entry/Exit Turnstiles.
