History

The station opened on March 15, 1955 as one of the original stations on the CTS Rapid Transit.[1] 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.[2] The station is located just west of the original station and includes an entrance on Quincy Avenue. The new $1.3 million station opened on November 4, 2005.[3] Further construction of a second entrance on East 105th Street is planned after a new bridge is built on East 105th Street.

The platform at the station is substantially shorter than platforms at other stations on The Red Line as well as shorter than the train itself. Therefore, only the first door in the first car adjacent to the operator cab opens while at the platform requiring detraining passengers to walk to the front of the first car to disembark while passengers who are boarding can only do so though the same one door.
