History
The station opened on August 14, 1955 when the west side portion of the CTS Rapid Transit began operation.[1]
When RTA began a program of rebuilding stations, including making them ADA compliant, West 25th Station was the first station renovated.[2] The new $2.6 million station opened September 1992.[1] The old utilitatian station was replaced with a station featuring a glass canopy with a bright red head house.
Artwork
The 1992 station renovation included an art installation by Cleveland artist Don Harvey.[3]
