This station was built at Culver Road in a cutting[2] that had once been the bed of the Erie Canal and is now a section of the Eastern Expressway, with a siding on the south side to the National Guard Armory[2]

The Armory had originally been home to the 121st Cavalry Regiment, and in 2012 the building was repurposed into a mixed-use development Culver Road Armory, containing restaurants, offices, retail and residences.[3]
