The Navy Street station was a station on the demolished BMT Myrtle Avenue Line in Brooklyn, New York City. It had 2 tracks and 1 island platform. The station was originally built on April 10, 1888, for the Myrtle Avenue Elevated trains, but also served Lexington Avenue Elevated trains by 1891. A segment of the Lexington Avenue Line once turned north from here onto Hudson Avenue and York Street on its way to the Fulton Ferry until 1904, when Lexington and Fifth Avenue trains were redirected along Myrtle Avenue west of this station.[1] It closed on October 4, 1969, after a fire on the elevated structure.[2] The next stop to the north was Vanderbilt Avenue. The next stop to the south was Bridge–Jay Streets.
