The station consists of two platforms with shelters on the east side of Providence Road across from the end of South Street. A serpentinite stone building originally built in 1880 by the Pennsylvania Railroad[4] serves as the station and ticket office, with an insurance office occupying the level at the parking lot.[5] The station opened as Spring Hill, retaining that name until 1886.[2] The previous name can still be found on the cornerstone of the building.

Improvements

In September 2019 SEPTA completed a series of upgrades to this station. The upgrades include the installation high-level platforms and a new station building and canopy. The Secane station upgrade was made possible by funding provided by the Commonwealth's Act 89 funds.[6]
