It closed on April 26, 1956, and was replaced by the nearby underground Grant Avenue station of the IND Fulton Street Line on April 29, 1956.^[3]^[4] The remainder of the line east to Lefferts Avenue (today Lefferts Boulevard) was connected to the Fulton Street Subway and continues to operate.^[3]^[4]
