Cortelyou Road is a station on the BMT Brighton Line of the New York City Subway, located at Cortelyou Road between Marlborough Road (East 15th Street) and East 16th Street in the neighborhood of Flatbush, Brooklyn.
The station physically resembles the nearby Beverley Road station. The station layout, stationhouse, and even the "emergency exit" secret are both the same. There are some differences, however. This station has blue columns while Beverley Road has green, there is a signal house for New York City Transit use on the north end that replicates the stationhouse across the street, and finally, the location of the stationhouse in relation to the platforms, is slightly to the north compared to the same location at Beverley Road.
The original station at this location was opened around 1900 as a two-track street-level side-platform station running south from a grade crossing at Avenue C. The station was established to serve the business commercial area of Avenue C, a major thoroughfare which boasted the only east-west streetcar line between Church Avenue in Flatbush and Sheepshead Bay. The current station house and below-grade platforms were completed at the end of 1907. At the same time, the station was renamed from Avenue C to Cortelyou Road.
