Cortlandt Street (also known as Cortlandt Street–World Trade Center) is a temporarily closed station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway in Lower Manhattan. The station was demolished after sustaining heavy damage during the September 11 attacks and is currently being reconstructed as a part of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub.
The original station was originally located under Cortlandt and Greenwich streets, with a standard two side platform layout with two tracks, the rebuilt station will be built directly under the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, under Greenwich Street. It will be connected to the Cortlandt Street (BMT), Chambers Street–World Trade Center/Park Place, and World Trade Center (PATH) stations to become the World Trade Center Transportation Hub.
The station was named after Cortlandt Street, which formerly ran east and west from Broadway to West Street in Lower Manhattan, nicknamed "Radio Row" because of the many electronics dealers on the street. The station was constructed and opened in 1918. It was originally located under Cortlandt and Greenwich streets, with a standard two side platform layout with two tracks and mosaic decorations by Squire J. Vickers depicting a ship.
