Service by the Cleveland Interurban Railroad began on Moreland (now Van Aken) Boulevard on April 11, 1920, from Lynnfield Road to Shaker Square and then to East 34th Street and via surface streets to downtown.

[5] The Shaker Square merchants resisted, and eventually a compromise was worked out permitting the construction of the loop.

The renovated line along Van Aken Boulevard opened on October 30, 1981.

[4]: 111 The station has two narrow side platforms in the center median of Van Aken Boulevard, split across the intersection with Drexmore Road.
