When built in 1913, Luzerne Depot was the largest precast concrete structure in the world, with space for 355 trolleys, and room for 115 more in the yard alongside.
In 1978 the routes 6, 23, 50, 53, 56, and 60 operated out of Luzerne. By the end of PCC trolley operation in 1992, Luzerne was only serving the routes 23 (Chestnut Hill) and 56.
In 1997 the depot's bus operations were closed and the depot was threatened with demolition in 2003, but a cardboard recycler was found to occupy the building under lease.
