This elevated station, opened on June 2, 1917 and was rehabilitated in 2004 with new canopies and windscreens. It has three tracks and two side platforms with the center express track not used in revenue service. The original IRT-era signs are painted over and covered up with more contemporary Helvetica signs.

The station house is directly under the platforms and tracks. It has two staircases going up to each platform, a waiting area/crossunder, turnstile bank, token booth, and two street stairs going down to the northern corners of Mount Eden and Jerome Avenues. The eastern staircase faces south while the western one faces north. The northern edge of the station is visible from the Cross Bronx Expressway, especially for drivers in the northbound/eastbound lanes.
