The station was renovated for $2,500,000, and was part of the Adopt-a-Station program. The money included $600,000 from the Federal Urban Mass Transit Administration, $125,000 from private sources, including some from the Vincent Astor Foundation. The scope of the project included the restoration of the famous glazed ceramic beaver plaques, new improved lighting, the installation of noise-abatement material, as well as the installation of new brown floor tiles. A new piece of porcelain steel artwork by Cooper Union alumnus Milton Glaser was installed, and a cast-iron copy of one of the station's original kiosks was built. There was an underpass between the uptown and downtown sides, but it was closed and covered up in the 1980s renovation.[6] The original plans for the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (now PATH) included a spur along Ninth Street to this station.[7] Station layout{{NYCS Platform Layout IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Local Stations}}Astor Place is a local station with four tracks and two side platforms. The fare control is at platform level, and the underpass connecting northbound and southbound sides was removed in the 1980s. The access hatch to the underpass is visible behind the northbound token booth inside the fare control area. The northbound platform contains a news and candy stand, which replaced the original public women's lavatory. On the southbound side, the station has a department store entrance into a K-Mart. This store was originally constructed in 1868 as an A. T. Stewart. It had changed ownership and was a Wanamaker's when the station was constructed. The heavy brick-faced square columns on the downtown platform support the store above. The northern building of Wanamaker's store, but not the southern building above, burned in the 1950s. Octagonal windows on the brick wall of the platform were the store's showcases. Plaques of beavers are located on the walls, in honor of John Jacob Astor's fortune derived from the beaver-pelt trade. The plaques, as well as name tablets, were made by the Grueby Faience Company in 1904. During the renovation, the magnificent maroon and gold tile Cooper Union signs underneath the tile Astor Place signs were destroyed.[8] Black and white pillar signs read Astor Place on one pillar, then Cooper Union on the next. {{clear left}}ExitsThe station has two entrances, one in each direction. The southbound platform's entrance is at the southwest corner of Astor Place and Lafayette Street, while the northbound platform's entrance is in the traffic island bounded by Fourth Avenue, Lafayette Street, and Eighth Street.[9] There is a reproduction of an IRT entry kiosk on the street level over the northbound entrance. Points of interestThe station itself is a point of local interest, as it is on the List of Registered Historic Places in New York. Several other sites of historical and cultural importance are located near the station. The New York University and Cooper Union are both located nearby. Visitors to the Astor Place area often rotate the Alamo Cube, at street level above the tail end of the northbound platform.[10] A tiled-up doorway, on southwest wall behind the southbound token booth, sports a lintel proclaiming "Clinton Hall". This doorway once led to the New York Mercantile Library in the former Astor Opera House.[11] Other points of interest include:
The Eighth Street – New York University station on the BMT Broadway Line is one block west of the station.[10] Image galleryReferences1. ^{{NYCS const|riderref}} 2. ^{{Cite web |url=http://nrhp.focus.nps.gov |title=NPS Focus |work=National Register of Historic Places |publisher=National Park Service |accessdate=December 9, 2011}} 3. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.nycsubway.org/wiki/Rapid_Transit_Tunnel_Begun_-_Ground_Officially_Broken_(1900)| title=Rapid Transit Tunnel Begun - Ground Officially Broken (1900)| work=www.nycsubway.org}} 4. ^1 {{cite news| newspaper=New York Times| url=https://www.nytimes.com/1904/10/28/archives/our-subway-open-150000-try-it-mayor-mcclellan-runs-the-first.html| title=Our Subway Open: 150,000 Try It| date=October 28, 1904| via=NYCSubway.org}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1981/06/11/nyregion/agency-lists-its-69-most-deteriorated-subway-stations.html|title=Agency Lists Its 69 Most Deteriorated Subway Stations| date=June 11, 1981| newspaper=The New York Times| last1=Gargan| first1=Edward A.| accessdate=August 13, 2016}} 6. ^{{Cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/05/17/nyregion/refurbishing-of-irt-station-applauded-by-well-wishers.html| title=Refurbishing of IRT Station Applauded by Well-Wishers| last=Blau| first=Eleanor| date=May 17, 1986| newspaper=The New York Times| issn=0362-4331| access-date=September 5, 2016}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/digital/collections/cul/texts/ldpd_6282382_000/ldpd_6282382_000.pdf|title=Map of Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Hudson Tunnel System|last=|first=|date=December 31, 1912|website=columbia.edu|publisher=Hudson & Manhattan Railroad|access-date=September 5, 2016}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/85071996@N00/4017302543/sizes/l/in/pool-1194454@N25/ |title=1982 Photo of Astor Place Signage |year=1982 |work=Cable (Cooper Union Yearbook) |accessdate=December 9, 2009 }} 9. ^{{cite web|title=MTA Neighborhood Maps: East Village|url=http://web.mta.info/maps/neighborhoods/mn/M05_East%20Village_2015.pdf |website=mta.info|publisher=Metropolitan Transportation Authority|accessdate=August 19, 2015|date=2015}} 10. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 {{cite web|url=http://web.mta.info/maps/neighborhoods/mn/M05_East%20Village_2015.pdf|title=MTA Neighborhood Maps: East Village|last=|first=|date=2015|website=mta.info| publisher=Metropolitan Transportation Authority|access-date=September 5, 2015}} 11. ^{{cite web| url=http://forgotten-ny.com/1998/04/the-other-door-to-nowhere-not-to-be-outdone-the-astor-place-station-irt-6-has-its-very-own-door-to-nowhere-where-did-it-go/| title=Clinton Hall at Astor Place| website=Forgotten New York}} Further reading
