The station opened on June 2, 1860, with the opening of the Staten Island Railway from Annadale to Tottenville.[2]
There are two side platforms and the station is orange color with the south overpass appearing to be an addition during a renovation. The north exit leads to Richmond Valley Road while the south exit leads to Amboy Road. Because of the short platform, only the first 3 cars in the direction of the train traveling can be platformed here. A grade crossing at Richmond Valley Road was removed in 1940.
The Tottenville-bound track has a non-electrified spur that once ran all the way to the Arthur Kill. The spur was built in the mid-1920s and dubbed by the B&O as the West Shore Line. The B&O delivered building materials to the Outerbridge Crossing construction site near the Kill. Later on, the track served a small scrapyard owned by the Roselli Brothers. The track remains intact today all the way to Page Avenue. The switch at the spur is well kept and working.
