Originally opened on May 29, 1912 as a local station of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway, the station was closed on December 12, 1937 when the NYW&B went bankrupt. In 1940, the City of New York purchased the right-of-way from the Bronx county line southward. In 1941, a shuttle service was implemented between Eastchester – Dyre Avenue and East 180th Street using IRT gate cars. In 1957, a physical connection was made to the IRT White Plains Road Line, and through service provided.
The station has two side platforms with three tracks and space for a fourth. It is in an open-cut. The street (Gun Hill Road) is above the northern part of the station. The entrance is at street level.
