Wall Street is a station on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line of the New York City Subway, located at the intersection of Broadway and Wall Street. It is a two-track station, with two side platforms that are slightly offset from one another and glossy blue tiles over the original white. The standard IRT name tablet mosaics have been preserved and incorporated into the blue tile; fancy ceiling accents have been preserved as well. On the southbound platform is a wooden token booth and ticket chopper, wooden restroom doors on each side, and a mosaic of the "wall" from Wall Street is on the rear wall. There is a crossunder about midway along the length of the stations, and a lesser-used one at the north end. At street level are faux kiosks on the southbound side. A complex underground passageway exists outside the fare control which connects to the Broad Street station on the BMT Nassau Street Line, and to the Wall Street station on the Brooklyn Branch of the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line. This passageway also leads to the Chase Manhattan Plaza and the old Equitable Building.

In 2006 a project to renovate/restore the station began. As of May 2006 the blue tiles mentioned above have been removed and remnants of the original white tilework exposed. The condition of the original tiles are fair to poor to missing so it is expected that all new tiles will be used in the station renovation.
