The station replaced a station known as Theater District/South 9th Street station, located two blocks to the south. That station officially opened for service on August 22, 2003; it was located at the northern end of downtown and named for the several nearby performing arts venues. The station closed on August 1, 2022, as part of work to connect the T Line with its extension to the Hilltop neighborhood, due to its close proximity with the new Old City Hall station.
Artwork at the original Theater District station reflected the Theater District:
- Seats at the station resembled fold-up theater seats
- Bronze plaques in the ground were reproductions of historical theatrical posters
- Projectors projected theatrical scenes on screens at night
