The Evergreen Avenue station was a station on the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line located at the intersection of Evergreen Avenue and Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn, New York City.
This station opened on July 20, 1889. It closed on May 3, 1917 due to its proximity to the Central Avenue station, and to allow for the Dual Contracts rebuilding of the Myrtle Avenue Line. As part of the rebuilding, the line was given a third track, the Central Avenue and Knickerbocker Avenue stations were given side platforms, a connection to the Jamaica Elevated was installed and the structure was strengthened to allow subway cars to use the line.
This elevated station had two tracks and an island platform.
