Rector Street BMT Subway Station

Hey, this station is open 24 hours! It hasn’t been closed yet!
This is a local station on the Broadway ® line, and one stop north of Whitehall street, the last stop in Manhattan before Brooklyn.
It’s also the last station in Manhattan to sport the blue cinderblock tiles with Helvetica lettering; this is clearly an artifact of the 60s, which renovation of other stations has shown was covering up some glorious mosaic work – as in the 8^th, 23^rd, and Cortlandt street stations on the BMT line. Armistead Maupin even coined the word «Eisenhowering» (after President Dwight D. Eisenhower) in his «Tales of the City» series about San Francisco, to describe the deco façades slapped onto old buildings in the 1950s and 60s to give the illusion that they’re «new.»
Here’s a website that shows the mix of old and new tiles pretty well, as well as some history and description of the station:
