Newkirk Plaza (BMT Brighton Line)
Newkirk Plaza is an express station on the BMT Brighton Line of the New York City Subway in Flatbush, Brooklyn, served by the Q train at all times and the B train on weekdays. It is located on an open-cut at the center of the pedestrian-only Newkirk Plaza shopping mall, which bounded by Newkirk Avenue on the north, Foster Avenue on the south, Marlborough Road to the west, and East 16th Street to the east.
== History ==
The station opened around 1900 as a two-track surface station named South Midwood, a reference to its location at the southern end of the former Town of Flatbush, which was also historically known as Midwood. Currently, Midwood is considered to be the area ''south'' of where the station now stands, so it would now more correctly be described as being in ''South Flatbush'' or ''North Midwood''.
When on the surface, the station was a division point at which short turned elevated trains of the Fulton Street El terminated. After grade crossings were eliminated in 1908 the station became a through stop for all services; at this time it was given the name Newkirk Avenue. The station was renamed Newkirk Plaza in August 2011.
On the eastern side of the station entrance building there is a plaque which reads "The Depression and Elevation of this railroad to abolish grade crossings was authorized by the Legislature May 9th, 1903. A joint undertaking between the City Of New York and the Brooklyn Heights R.R. Co. under the direction of the Brooklyn Grade Crossing Commission. ..... Work commenced August 1st 1904 - Completed July 1st 1908".
