Spring Garden station is an abandoned subway rapid transit station on the SEPTA Broad–Ridge Spur, located under Ridge Avenue between Spring Garden Street and Buttonwood Street.
The Broad-Ridge Spur, including Spring Garden station, opened on December 21, 1932. [1] By the late 1980s, Spring Garden station was lightly used and exit-only; it was frequently occupied by drug users and dealers. After no substantial opposition from nearby residents, SEPTA closed the station on September 10, 1989. [2] [3] The now abandoned station, visible from passing trains, is heavily graffitied. [4] A single entrance, covered with steel, is still present on the west side of Ridge Avenue just north of Buttonwood Street. [5]
