The property also includes the stone foundation of the original baggage house.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the station is significant for its role as the community's passenger depot from 1898 until 1960 in the story of rail transportation in the town and along the Susquehanna Branch. It also argues the building is a fine local example of a Late Victorian-era station built by the Northern Central Railway.","narrative":"Built in 1898 for the Northern Central Railway, this two-story brick and frame station in Millersburg is a Queen Anne depot with a porch wrapping three sides. Its builder, Harman and Jones of Williamsport, finished the exterior that year, and the station opened to the public on March 31, 1898, when the first train arrived from Harrisburg. It replaced an older station that had become obsolete and hard for residents to reach across Wisconisco Creek. For more than six decades it served as the town's communication hub, housing company offices, a ticket office and a post office, and it was the focus of community life for railroad families and travelers. The last passenger train stopped there in July 1960. The building is regarded as a distinctive example of the late Victorian railroad station and reflects the growth of Millersburg as a rail and coal shipping town. Its interior retains pressed tin ceilings and chestnut woodwork.","period_of_significance":"1898-1952","architect_builder":"Architect Unknown; Harman and Jones, Williamsport, PA (builder)","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Restored first floor used as an information center and offices; exterior in need of maintenance.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:38.007429-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/02001430.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001430/4c80834c33-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001430/4c80834c33-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Choess","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Millersburg_station_1.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Choess</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:Millersburg_station_1.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71996568","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millersburg_station","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6859376"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/dauphin-county/millersburg-passenger-rail-station-02001430/"}
