Named after Patterson Road, which is located immediately south of the station and also provides access, construction of the station commenced in 1958.[7]

From its opening, provision was made for another platform face on the western side of the station. On 28 June 1987, it came into use, when a third track was provided between Caulfield and Moorabbin.[8]

On 17 December 1994, a deliberately lit fire damaged parts of the station.[9][10]

Art installation edit

 
Art installation under the staton's rail corridor bridge

In 2011, Pamela Irving curated a mosaic installation named Stationary Faces, consisting of a collage of various mosaic portraits. This project was funded by government department Arts Victoria (now Creative Victoria) and VicTrack, and was developed in collaboration with an estimate of 750 school students and youth services from Australia and abroad, inspired by Irving's mosaic works.[12]

Stationary Faces was proposed by Irving in order to combat constant vandalism in the station's underpass, with the assistance of Rob Hudson, the Victorian parliament member for Bentleigh at the time. Irving's aims with the project were two-fold; to contribute to a "cultural sprawl" alongside the city of Melbourne's urban sprawl,[13] and to use recycled/donated tiles and ceramics for environmental sustainability.

Irving received a Keep Australia Beautiful Award in 2012 for her use of upcycled tiles and community engagement.[citation needed]
