The 14th Street/Sixth Avenue station is an underground
A connection is available from this complex to the PATH station at 14th Street and Sixth Avenue. There is a direct passageway from this complex to the PATH station's southbound platform; transferring between this complex and the northbound PATH platform requires exiting onto street level first.
History
Dual Contracts construction
After the opening of the original subway line, operated by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), the New York City government began planning new lines. As part of the proposed Tri-borough system, both the IRT and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company (BRT; later the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation or BMT) wished to develop an east–west line under 14th Street in Manhattan.[4][5] The IRT also sought to operate a north–south route in Manhattan along Seventh Avenue south of Times Square.[6] The Seventh Avenue and 14th Street lines were both assigned to the BRT in 1911 after the IRT refused to agree to a compromise over the Tri-borough system.[7][8]
By mid-1912, the Public Service Commission was determining the locations of stations on the Seventh Avenue Line. The commission wished to add express stops at 34th Street–Penn Station to the north and Chambers Street to the south, but The New York Times reported that the 14th Street station would likely be a local stop because businesses had begun moving away from 14th Street.[9] In September 1912, merchants near 14th Street began advocating for the construction of an express station there, saying the Chambers Street and 34th Street stations were 2.5 miles (4.0 km) apart.[10][11] Merchants on 23rd Street, conversely, advocated for the construction of an express stop on that street because businesses were moving to 23rd Street.[12]
Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line
The Dual Contracts between the government of New York City, the BMT, and the IRT were signed in 1913.[13] As part of Contract 4, the IRT agreed to build a branch of the original subway line south down Seventh Avenue, Varick Street, and West Broadway to serve the West Side of Manhattan.[14][15][16] The construction of this line, in conjunction with the construction of the Lexington Avenue Line, would change the operations of the IRT system. Instead of having trains go via Broadway, turning onto 42nd Street, before finally turning onto Park Avenue, there would be two trunk lines connected by the 42nd Street Shuttle. The system would be changed from looking like a "Z" system on a map to an "H" system. One trunk would run via the new Lexington Avenue Line down Park Avenue, and the other trunk would run via the new Seventh Avenue Line up Broadway. In order for the line to continue down Varick Street and West Broadway, these streets needed to be widened, and two new streets were built, the Seventh Avenue Extension and the Varick Street Extension.[17] It was predicted that the subway extension would lead to the growth of the Lower West Side, and to neighborhoods such as Chelsea and Greenwich Village.[18][19]
As part of the Dual Contracts, the IRT was authorized to construct an express station on its Seventh Avenue Line at 14th Street.[20][21] The Christopher Street and 14th Street stations were to be built as part of section 4 of the Seventh Avenue Line, running between Commerce Street and 16th Street.[22][23] This contract was awarded in March 1914 to the United States Realty and Investment Company, who made a low bid of $1.837 million.[24][25] By early 1917, the section of the Seventh Avenue Line from 14th to 42nd Street was nearly complete, and workers were restoring the portion of Seventh Avenue between 14th and 42nd Streets.[26][27] A short section of the new line opened between 42nd Street and 34th Street–Penn Station in June 1917.[28] A further extension from 34th to 14th Street was initially scheduled to open by the end of the year,[29] but the extension to 14th Street was still incomplete by that December.[30]
14th Street opened as part of an extension of the line from 34th Street–Penn Station to
Canarsie Line
The Dual Contracts also called for the construction of a subway under 14th Street, to run to Canarsie in Brooklyn; this became the Canarsie Line. The BRT was authorized to construct a station on its Canarsie Line at Sixth Avenue and 14th Street.[20][21] In late 1915, the Public Service Commission began receiving bids for the construction of the 14th Street Line.[36][37] Booth and Flinn was awarded the first contract for the line, namely a tunnel under the East River, in January 1916.[38] At the time, the Public Service Commission was completing plans for the rest of the line;[39] the commission began accepting bids for two parts of the line within Manhattan, sections 1 and 2. in April 1916.[40] The next month, Booth and Flinn won the contract for section 1, which was to cost $2.528 million.[41] By early 1919, the section of the line under 14th Street was about 20 percent completed.[42]
In 1922, the Charles H. Brown & Son Corporation was contracted to build out the Canarsie Line's stations in Manhattan, including the Sixth Avenue station.
Sixth Avenue Line

The Midtown section of the Sixth Avenue Line was difficult to construct because part of this stretch of Sixth Avenue was already occupied by the
The Midtown section of the Sixth Avenue Line did not begin construction until March 1936.
The Sixth Avenue Line's 14th Street station opened on December 15, 1940, along with the rest of the IND Sixth Avenue Line from
Consolidation as a station complex
The city government took over the BMT's operations on June 1, 1940,[72][73] and the IRT's operations on June 12, 1940.[74][75] In 1947, the New York City Board of Transportation (BOT) replaced the incandescent lightbulbs in the Sixth Avenue Line's 14th Street station with fluorescent lamps as part of an experiment to improve illumination in subway stations.[76]
A free transfer between the Canarsie Line platform and the Sixth Avenue Line platforms opened on May 9, 1966.[77] On January 16, 1978, a free transfer passageway connecting the 14th Street station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line and the stations on the BMT Canarsie Line and the IND Sixth Avenue Line opened.[78]
The entire station complex except for the PATH station will receive elevators starting in 2022.[79] Originally, the improvements were scheduled for the Sixth Avenue and Canarsie Lines only.[80][81] As of February 2021[update], funding had been committed to accessibility renovations at the 14th Street/Sixth Avenue station.[82] A contract for nine elevators at the station complex was awarded in November 2021.[83] Between February 27, 2023, and mid-December 2023, the transfer passageway between Sixth and Seventh Avenues was closed for the installation of elevators as a part to make the station compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.[84] A free out-of-system transfer was available while the passageway was closed. The work involves constructing seven elevators: two from the IRT platforms to the mezzanine; one from the mezzanine to street level at Seventh Avenue; two from the mezzanine to the BMT platform; and one from either IND platform to both the mezzanine and street level at Sixth Avenue.[84][85]

Both platforms have a green trim line on a darker green border and mosaic name tablets reading "14TH STREET" in white sans-serif lettering on a dark green background and a lighter green border. Beneath the trim line and name tablets are small directional and number tile captions in white lettering on a black background. Forest green I-beam columns run along both platforms at regular intervals with alternating ones having the standard black name plate with white lettering.
Trains open their doors to the left in both directions, which is unusual for a side platformed station in New York City. Most side platforms in the system are to the outside of the tracks and thus trains open the doors to the right. In the case of 14th Street, because the platforms of the PATH's Uptown Hudson Tubes already existed along Sixth Avenue, the Sixth Avenue Line platforms flank the existing PATH station, leaving the PATH tracks behind the Sixth Avenue platform walls which are not visible from the platforms.[86]

The 1993 artwork here is called MTA Jewels by Jennifer Kotter.[101] It consists of paintings of various subjects on the passageway leading to the IRT.
