It is located on an open cut southwest of Giffords Lane and Amboy Road on the main line. It has two side platforms and turquoise blue canopies and walls. ==History== The station's original name was Gifford's, which named after the neighborhood of Giffords, which was named after Daniel Gifford, a local commissioner and surveyor. The name also survives in Giffords Lane, which is located at the station.〔〔(Sidewinders By Avram Mednick Page 50 )〕〔()〕 The station was also known as Gifford's Lane.〔 Both names appeared on the October 16, 1921 timetable.〔()〕 The station opened on April 23, 1860, with the opening of the Staten Island Railway from Vanderbilt's Landing to Eltingville.〔〔(Poster for opening of Staten Island Railway )〕 It was rebuilt again in the early 1930s, but with great difficulty. Workers had to dig 30 feet below ground level in order to avoid the underground springs and deep quicksand that laced the vicinity of the right-of-way. The project was finished by 1933. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Great Kills (Staten Island Railway station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
