The pot belly stove is the only
LIRR station with the original remaining. The grate on the ticket window is one that I brought from Flatbush Avenue Terminal.
It is nice that the old bulletin board and the light fixtures were re-installed after the 1997 restoration.
I'm pleased that the photo displays that I installed in 1997 are still there.
