The station was designed by the firm of Corlett & Spackman and architect Ernest Born in the brutalist style.[1] Born also designed the graphics for the entire BART system. Service began on November 5, 1973.[2] The November 1974 Architectural Record wrote of the station:

Born designed a marble mural at the west end of the mezzanine. "100 pieces, few of which are cut at right angles, in warm brown and red-brown tones, make it up". The mural is prominently featured in a scene of the 2006 Will Smith film The Pursuit of Happyness.[3]

The station was nominated in 2019 to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4][5] The Glen Park Association submitted the application, funded by a grant from San Francisco Heritage, whose president called the station "the best example of Brutalism in San Francisco, if not the entire Bay Area."[6] Шаблон:Clear left
