Intervale Avenue (IRT White Plains Road Line station)
|
|
Intervale Avenue is a stop in The Bronx on the 5 Line of the New York Subway. It was once called 163rd Street. The station was totally rebuilt in 1992 after a fire destroyed the old station. The old station had a wood mezzanine and wood floor. The token booth clerk died in the fire after leaving the booth (which had fire protection). The new station is out of character with the line and has a crossunder. The new mezzanine is metal as is the canopy and windscreen. The stair walls and mezzanine have an embossed leather look. There are two mosaics in the mezzanine by artist Michael Kelly Williams, entitled El 2 and El 5. The floor of the mezzanine is concrete. The mezzanine has glass block windows and escalators to the street.
