It was built in 1892 as a passenger station for the Erie Railroad by Grattan & Jennings in the Queen Anne style.

The long-distance passenger trains Erie Limited and the Lake Cities between Chicago and Hoboken served this station.

Local commuter service to Hoboken was taken over by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Metro-North Railroad shortly thereafter.

It had a parking lot for passengers' cars, a shelter, and a street-level concrete platform.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as the Erie Railroad Station.
