The original timber station building was manufactured in England in 1899. In the late 1920s, it was sold and re-erected in Canberra, on the site of the present Jolimont Centre. After being damaged by fire, it was demolished in 1977.[3]
Jolimont is one of two stations that are close to the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), the other being Richmond. During events at the MCG, extra exit gates are open to reduce crowding.[4]
Additional entrances and exits were provided in 1973.[5] In 1985, the station was renamed Jolimont MCG, and at the time it was noted that it was unique in that no advertising was permitted on the station site, according to the construction finance contract.[6]
Extra shelter and seats were provided on both platforms in November 2015.[7]
