History

The present-day station entrance pavilion at Exchange Place was constructed at a cost of $66 million [1], and was dedicated on September 13, 1989. At this time, the surrounding Paulus Hook area was beginning to undergo revitalization with new office building construction. The station entrance is located approximately 100 feet west of the former, original station entrance. The station features two 150 foot-long escalators that provide access to the platform level, located 75 feet beneath street level.
