Claremont Parkway, signed as "Claremont Parkway − Between 171st St. & 172nd St."[3] was a local station on the demolished IRT Third Avenue Line. It originally opened on September 19, 1888 by the Suburban Rapid Transit Company as Wendover Avenue Station,[4] and had three tracks and two side platforms. It was the northern terminus of the Third Avenue elevated until 1891. The next stop to the north was 174th Street. The next stop to the south was 169th Street. The station closed on April 29, 1973 and was demolished in 1977, along with the rest of the Third Avenue El.[5][6]
