History edit

Auburndale station was originally built in 1901, the year the community itself was developed. The original station house was sold and converted into an Episcopal Church on 42nd Avenue and Utopia Parkway when a new elevated station was built in 1930 as part of a grade crossing elimination project. This church closed in 1973. The elevated platform was renovated between 2004 and 2005.
