The southbound platform contains another exit on the eastern end that leads to Eltingville Boulevard.[5] The station house at Richmond Avenue is at street level and once featured a signal lamp that alerted those waiting that a train was arriving. On the exterior of this station house is a plaque noting the Great Kills to Huguenot grade separation project was done under the auspices of the Public Works Administration.[3]
