Its core dates to about 1886, and it was enlarged in the 1890s.","why_significant":"The station is significant for its association with rail transportation in northern New York in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It also stands as a substantially intact, representative example of small railroad station architecture. It served the Utica & Black River Railroad and later the New York Central until passenger service ended in 1960.","narrative":"Holland Patent Railroad Station is a small wood-frame depot on Park Avenue in Holland Patent, Oneida County, beside the former Utica & Black River Railroad line. Its core was built in the late 1880s and lengthened in stages after 1891, when the New York Central acquired the line. The board-and-batten building has a broad metal-covered gable roof with Eastlake-inspired brackets and a passenger waiting room, a stationmaster's office with a bay window overlooking the tracks, and a baggage room with sliding freight doors. Railroad service reached the village in 1855 and brought summer boarders, hotels and shipment of dairy products to Utica and eastern cities. Passenger service ended in 1960. The station later served as a convenience store and laundry, and its interior retains considerable integrity. It is valued as a well-preserved example of rural railroad architecture and as a reminder of the area's transportation history. The community now hopes to restore it for passenger and government use.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1855-1960 (amended by the Keeper to c.1890-1960)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"No style","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Converted to a convenience store and laundry in the early 1980s; the form describes it as vacant, with local plans to rehabilitate it as a passenger station and local government offices.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.232652-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/00000089.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00000089/1cacf33249-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00000089/1cacf33249-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Eredien","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Holland_Patent_Railroad_Station,_Rear.png\" rel=\"noopener\">Eredien</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Holland_Patent_Railroad_Station,_Rear.png"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75320213","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland_Patent_station","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5881052"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/oneida-county/holland-patent-railroad-station-00000089/"}
