The station was rebuilt in 1914, as part of quadruplication and re-grading of the track between South Yarra and Caulfield. It is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[3]

The former electrified goods sidings were removed in 1988.[4]

In 1993, major re-signalling works occurred between Toorak, Armadale, Malvern and Caulfield stations.[2]
