It is a substantially intact example of vernacular railroad architecture and is believed to be the earliest surviving railroad depot in Oneida County. It remained in rail use until 1934.","narrative":"Built in 1867, this railroad station in Deansboro, Oneida County, was the first depot on the Utica, Clinton & Chenango Valley Railroad, later part of the New York, Ontario & Western. It is a long, low, one-story timber-frame building measuring 24 by 72 feet, with board-and-batten siding, a gable roof with broad eaves, and a limestone foundation. Inside, a waiting room and stationmaster's office share the building with a large freight and baggage room. The design became the model for later combination stations along the line. Passenger service ended in 1932 and regular freight service in 1934, after which a local coal, lumber and hardware business leased the building. Commercial use continued until 2000, when a community nonprofit bought it. The station is believed to be the earliest surviving railroad depot in Oneida County and retains much of its original design and materials. It is currently vacant while restoration for community use proceeds.","period_of_significance":"1867-1934","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"No style","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Currently vacant; a not-for-profit community organization is restoring the building for use as a community center.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:52.801924-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/02001327.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001327/7bde54df50-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001327/7bde54df50-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Lvklock","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DeansboroRailroadStation.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Lvklock</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DeansboroRailroadStation.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75320183","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deansboro_station","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1181171"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/oneida-county/deansboro-railroad-station-02001327/"}
