72nd Street station (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line) heritage designation National Register of Historic Places listed place
Landmark designations
The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) designated the station house on the traffic island between 71st and 72nd Streets as a city landmark in January 1979. The LPC chairman at the time said: "The subway kiosk is one of those irreplaceable amenities that do more than serve a useful function." In October 1979, the LPC designated the space within the boundaries of the original station, excluding expansions made after 1904, as a city landmark. The station was designated along with eleven others on the original IRT. The original station house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1980, and the original interiors were listed on the NRHP in 2004.
