Initially, Southern Pacific steam trains stopped at the two boxcars which made up the station. Additionally, the station was a stop along the interurban Peninsular Railway starting in 1909. A more permanent station building opened in 1913. Peninsular interurban cars ceased running in 1935 and commuter service ended entirely in January 1964. After abandonment, the building was leased out as a restaurant.

The Los Altos Historical Commission declared the station as a historical building in 1984. The parlor car had become dilapidated by then and was sold and removed the following year. Despite its historical designation, the building again fell into disrepair and was restored and remodeled in 2014.
