		The Avenue H Subway Station is one of the most unique structures in the city and its preservation is now gratifyingly assured.

	The Third Rail - The Little Station in the Woods - page 4
		Some have suggested that the Avenue H station house was always a railroad station and that it housed the T.B. Ackerson real estate office as a dual use or that it may not have been the real estate office at all, but carried the name of the company as an on-site ad.
		I know, for example, that there is an old home on one of the original roads of Babylon, Long Island that is a virtual ringer for the Avenue H station house, wrap around porches and all, and that there was never a railroad at that location.
		I recently visited the Ackerson office in the hope that someone might have access to records that would settle the origin and use of the Avenue H station house once and for all.

	The Third Rail - The Little Station in the Woods - page 2
		When way stations became more numerous during steam days on the Brighton Line, stops were established to the north at South Midwood (Newkirk Avenue) and to the south at South Greenfield (Avenue M).
		When the Brighton Line began its life in 1878 as the Brooklyn, Flatbush and Coney Island Railroad, there was no need for a station at Avenue H. In fact, there was no Avenue H or any settlement to have a station for.
		Despite the nearby junction of the Brighton Line and the Bay Ridge Line of the LIRR, the future location of Avenue H remained an unpopulated forest of oaks and chestnuts.
