Contents 1 History 2 Station layout 2.1 Exits 3 References 4 External links History Station identification tablet This station opened on January 5, 1918, as the BMT Broadway Line was extended north from 14th Street -- Union Square to Times Square -- 42nd Street and south to Rector Street. Service at this station was provided by local service running between Times Square and Rector Street. Service was extended one station to Whitehall Street -- South Ferry on September 20, 1918. On August 1, 1920, the Montague Street Tunnel opened, extending local service from Lower Manhattan to DeKalb Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn by traveling under the East River. On January 3, 1999, a schizophrenic man, Andrew Goldstein, pushed 32 - year - old journalist and photographer Kendra Webdale onto the tracks from the Brooklyn - bound platform of this station. Webdale was then struck and killed by an oncoming N train. After two mistrials due to his mental incapacity, Goldstein pleaded guilty of manslaughter in October 2006 and sentenced to 23 years in prison. The incident led to the passing of Kendra 's Law, which allows judges to order people suffering from certain psychological disorders to undergo regular treatment.

The two center tracks are used by the N train on weekdays and Q train at all times except late nights. The platforms have their original trim line, which has `` 23 '' tablets on it at regular intervals and name tablets, which read `` 23RD STREET '' in Times New Roman font. This station 's 1970s overhaul included fixing its structure and the overall appearance by replacing the original wall tiles, old signs, and incandescent lighting to the 1970s modern look wall tile band and tablet mosaics, signs and fluorescent lights. It also included fixing staircases and platform edges. In 2001, the station received a major state of repairs, including upgrading for ADA compliance, restoring the original late 1910s tiling, repairing the staircases, re-tiling for the walls, new tiling on the floors, upgrading the station 's lights and the public address system, installing ADA yellow safety threads along the platform edge, new signs, and new trackbeds in both directions. The 2002 artwork here is called Memories of Twenty - Third Street by Keith Godard. It consists of mosaics on the platform walls containing hats that famous people of the Flatiron District wore, including Oscar Wilde, Sarah Bernhardt, and W.E.B. Du Bois. Exits Detail of top border mosaic Each platform has two same - level fare control areas. The primary ones are at the north end.
