The tile band is Claret red and the name mosaics are replicas of the 1933 originals. The I-beams were originally painted a shade of red to match, but they were repainted black during the installation of elevators at the station. Tile bands are also present in the mezzanines, and matching "T" (for Tremont) plaques have been fitted—the only IND station to feature these. A closed tower sits on the south end of the Manhattan-bound platform.
