The Fulton Street Elevated west of Hudson Street was closed, and eventually demolished.The station has gone by a number of different names. It opened as Oxford Avenue.[2] A 1924 system map portrayed the station as "Oxford Avenue", with "104th St." shown below the name in parentheses, and in a smaller print.[7] By 1948, "Oxford" and "104" were shown in equal sizes,[8] and by 1959 the name was shown as "104 St–Oxford".[9] The current official map shows the name as just "104 St".[10] Station signage still shows "104th Street – Oxford Avenue".[11]
The station was completely renovated in 2014.[12][13]
