History

The station opened on March 15, 1955 as one of the original stations on the CTS Rapid Transit.
The original station, which had an entrance on the east side of East 105th Street, lasted almost 50 years.

On January 11, 2005, RTA broke ground for a reconstruction of the station.
The new station was located just west of the original station and included a new entrance on Quincy Avenue. The new $1.3 million station opened on November 4, 2005.
Further construction of a second entrance on East 105th Street is planned after a new bridge is built on East 105th Street.

Cuyahoga County owns the property across Quincy Avenue from the reconstructed station and is building a new Juvenile Court and Detention Center on the site.
Construction of the new facility is scheduled for 2007, and, when completed, it should increase traffic through the station.
