The station opened on September 10, 1932, as part of the city-operated Independent Subway System (IND)'s initial segment, the Eighth Avenue Line between Chambers Street and 207th Street..

[64][65][66], Theories differ on why the lower-level platform was built. Some commentators have speculated that this was meant to allow Manhattan-bound E trains from Queens to hold at 42nd Street without slowing down service on trains traveling from Central Park West,[67] while the reported purpose of the platform upon its opening was to allow E trains to load and unload passengers without having to wait for one of the two upper level tracks to clear. South of 64th Street, the plan called for four tracks in Eighth Avenue, Greenwich Avenue, the planned extension of Sixth Avenue, and Church Street. 42nd Street, the longest station along the line at 1,115 feet (340m), was expected to be a major express station with large platforms, so the platforms were staggered away from each other in order to avoid going under property lines.

The trackside walls also contain exposed I-beam columns, dividing the trackside walls into 5 foot (1.5m) wide panels. Two additional high speed escalators were built to connect the local platforms with the new mezzanine. The underpass near the south end of the station was originally the northbound platform for the extension of the BMT Broadway Line to Queens.
