The original station was a small building, built by the Montclair Railway when the Upper Montclair area was still rural. It was acquired by the Erie Railroad and rebuilt in 1892. In 2006, the 1892 station building was damaged in a fire, but the platform survived and was able to remain in service. In 2009 the station was rebuilt. The new building was designed to resemble the original design and incorporate the existing porte-cochere which had survived the fire, but will be larger. The building will have 18-foot-high vaulted ceilings and travertine marble floors. During reconstruction, a tent was used as a temporary shelter on the eastbound platform. On the westbound platform there was a shelter, but now it is gone except for its columns. A former freight house is across Lorraine Avenue from the station.
