History
The station opened in 1886 for a cost of $555.35.[3]
On May 21, 2012, MTA began to rehabilitate the Grasmere station. The construction included demolition and rebuilding of the station platform and station house. A temporary platform and entrance were built north of the main station. Construction was finished in April 2014.[4][5][6]

This station has the original brick station house from the 1933 grade separation project over the Tottenville-bound track at the south end of the line. The building is open only during the morning rush hour. The platform is located in an open cut and has glass block and concrete windscreens attached to the canopy supports; the only exit is at the north end of the station. The Grasmere crossover, consisting of two manual switches, was located just past the Fingerboard Road overpass north of the station, but has since been removed. North of this station, the line merges with the abandoned South Beach branch. The South Beach was closed on March 31, 1953 due to poor ridership and better bus service in Staten Island.[7][8][9]
