This elevated station has two side platforms and three tracks; the center express track is not used in regular service.

The artwork here is called Euphorbias by Ronald Calloway and has a floral theme.[5]

Exits

The southeastern exit has a station house crossunder and has two street stairs that lead to the northern and western corners of Kossuth Place, Patchen Avenue, and Lafayette Avenue, just east of Kosciuszko Street.[6] The northwestern exit is an emergency exit only with a closed station house, leading to DeKalb Avenue. This entrance was closed in the 1980s due to high crime.[7][8] The closed entrance is about a block from the northern terminus of the B46 Select Bus Service at DeKalb Avenue.
