This station, opened on October 27, 1904, as part of the original subway, has two side platforms and three tracks, the center one being an unused express track.^[4][5][6] The southbound local track is technically known as BB1 and the northbound one is BB4; the BB designation is used for chaining purposes along the Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line from 96th Street to 242nd Street. Although it cannot be accessed at Cathedral Parkway – 110th Street, the center track is designated as M. It is important to note that these designations are rarely, if ever, used in ordinary conversation. According to this chaining, the station is approximately 0.74 mi (1.19 km) from 96th Street.

Each platform has separate fare controls, and there are no crossovers or crossunders allowing free transfers between directions. The only entrance to the southbound platform is at the north-west corner of 110th Street and Broadway; there are entrances to the northbound platform from both the north-eastern and south-eastern corners of 110th Street and Broadway. There is a newsstand on the southbound platform.

This is the closest station to the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine.
