The three-floor structure has capacity for 150 buses. The depot is named for Harlem humanitarian Clara Hale. The site of the depot was initially home to the Lenox Avenue Car House, a two-story car barn and power station, built by the Metropolitan Street Railway for their Lenox Avenue Line, the first line in the city to use conduit electrification. The line and depot began service on July 9, 1895. The New York City Omnibus Corporation, which had replaced the trolley lines with bus routes in 1936, began constructing a new bus garage on the site in 1938. Operations from the new depot began on July 31, 1939. It was rehabilitated in 1990. This depot had capacity for 123 buses. On September 23, 1993, it was renamed the Mother Clara Hale Depot. The previous depot building closed in January 2008 and was demolished in spring 2009. To make up for the lack of storage space, the Amsterdam Depot reopened temporarily, with some routes shifted to Manhattanville and West Farms. The old depot was originally a part of the Bronx Division. A new garage was built on the site after demolition, designed as a "green depot" with solar panels and features for energy conservation and efficiency. The new depot was opened on November 20, 2014, at the cost of $262 million. The new depot, which can now house 150 buses, has replaced the 126th Street Depot, which lies above a historical 17th century African-American burial ground; it opened as a directly run NYCT depot in the Manhattan Division like the 126th Street Depot on January 4, 2015, though many routes are operated from other depots.
