The 72nd Street Subway Kiosk, or Control House, which occupies a prominent site at the intersection of Broadway and 72nd Street, is one of only three such structures surviving in the city. Built to serve New York City’s first subway system, it was opened near the end of 1904. Designed by the architectural firm of Heins & LaFarge in the Flemish Renaissance style, the control house is a distinctive and important architectural feature on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and a significant reminder of the early subway system.
