A control house, within the context of the New York City Subway, refers to the buildings that serve as station entrances. They were built and are still used in locations where a simple staircase or kiosk was not desired. During design and construction of the IRT, the control houses were often the architectural focal point for the system, and were designed by Heins & LaFarge to be an attractive, exterior feature of the system that also suited their locations.
