The station opened on 28 February 1932, although originally only four of the platforms were in use: platforms 1, 2 and 3 on the upper level and platform 6, served by escalators, on the lower level.[1] The other two platforms were built in preparation for a yet to be constructed western suburbs line from the city to Gladesville, as envisaged under the Bradfield scheme.[1] When this plan fell through, the platforms (4 and 5) became disused, and were later utilised as platforms for the Eastern Suburbs line when it was constructed in the 1970s.

The Phoenician Club is a former entertainment venue in Sydney, Australia. It was located in Ultimo, New South Wales at the corner of Broadway and Mountain Street, opposite St Barnabas Church. The venue itself had gone through various uses and had had different names before it became the Phoenician Club, a meeting place for Sydney's Maltese community, in 1980. Before then, the building and the club had existed separately (the Phoenician Club had existed as a social organisation since 1963; before being taken over by this organisation, the building had been a cinema and television studio, among other functions).[1] The Phoenician Club became well known for hosting rock concerts, which provided its organisers with a steady source of income for running community activities. It was a popular venue for both Australian and overseas groups and many concerts took place at the club during its history. Following the death of Anna Wood at the premises, significant restrictions were imposed on the club, eventually leading to its closure in 1998.
