Although commonly attributed to architect Frank Furness, the actual architects for all of the stations on the Chestnut Hill West line (part of the Pennsylvania Railroad at the time) were William Brown and William Bleddyn Powell, who were under contract to PRR.

All of the Chestnut Hill West stations are now on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places.

The grant funded a project manager to assess the structural condition of the building and to identify a viable business use for it.

In the spring of 2009, SEPTA received federal economic stimulus funds which were allotted to the Chestnut Hill West line for building repairs.

As a result, the Tulpehocken station building received repairs aimed to encourage a business developer to make use of the space.

The reconstruction of the station building included complete removal of all rotten and unusable wood and the replacement and restoration of the timbers which supported the canopy, as well as ceramic tile trim over the windows.

However, in May and June, 2018 SEPTA provided new supply water, gas and sewer service (pumped up hill to Wayne Avenue) to the space so that it can be leased to a developer.

SEPTA provided the machinery and labor to remove dead trees and large, dumped items.
