caption_attribution_description: English: Tiles for a public pay phone that no longer exists in the center crossover at the Liberty Avenue Subway Station on the IND Fulton Street Line in the East New York section of Brooklyn, New York City. The indentation in the wall where the phone used to be still exists, though.
context_page_description: Liberty Avenue is a local station on the IND Fulton Street Line of the New York City Subway, located at the intersection of Liberty and Pennsylvania Avenues in East New York, Brooklyn. It is served by the C train at all times except nights, when the A train takes over service.
  Construction on the Liberty Avenue station started in 1938 as part of a four-station extension of the Fulton Street subway along Pitkin Avenue. Work was delayed by funding problems due to World War II, even though the stations were mostly complete. Construction resumed on the extension of the Fulton Street Line in November 1946, and this part of the Fulton Street Line opened in 1948.
context_section_description: The exit is in the center with two stairways from each platform to a mezzanine above the platforms. The exits from the mezzanine lead to all four corners of Liberty and Pennsylvania Avenues. The B20 and B83 bus routes stop outside the station.
  Since the station was completed a decade later than most stations on the Fulton Street Line, the station has a different tiling scheme and the mezzanine is much narrower, and is only above the center of the station. In the mezzanine there are old signs that indicate "To Boro Hall and Manhattan" and "To Richmond Hill and Lefferts Blvd". There are also alcoves marked with the text "Public Telephone", as phone booths were originally installed in the station; the alcoves are now empty since the phones have been removed. Free crossovers can be made between directions in the mezzanine. At the southern end of the mezzanine, a fence separates the paid and free areas of the station, with a bank of three turnstiles. The station's token booth is directly opposite the turnstile bank.
