It also reflects Rouses Point's role as a major rail hub and border port between the United States and Canada. It is significant in transportation, commerce, community planning and development, and architecture.","narrative":"Built in 1889 by the Delaware & Hudson Railroad, this brick station on Pratt Street in Rouses Point sits near the Canadian border on the west shore of Lake Champlain. It replaced the Delaware Hotel, which burned in 1882. The one-story building has a hipped slate roof, bracketed overhanging eaves, a full-length covered platform, large arched openings and a round tower with a conical roof, all in the Richardsonian Romanesque manner. A clapboard addition was made around 1970. Inside were ticket, baggage, telegraph and mail areas and separate men's and women's waiting rooms. The station was listed because it is a largely intact example of the stations the railroad designed and built itself, and because it recalls Rouses Point's importance as a customs port and rail hub served by six railroads. Passenger service ended, but nearby tracks still carry freight and Amtrak trains. The village now owns the building and hopes to restore it.","period_of_significance":"1889-1953","architect_builder":"D & H Railroad","architectural_style":"Richardsonian Romanesque","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Current function listed as vacant/work in progress; no longer used for passenger service, interior deteriorated, and the Village of Rouses Point recently became owner and hopes to restore it.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.343989-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/04001454.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04001454/c48a3028f6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04001454/c48a3028f6-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 2.0","author":"Adam Moss from East Amherst, New York, United States","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rouses_Point_station,_July_2017.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Adam Moss from East Amherst, New York, United States</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 2.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rouses_Point_station,_July_2017.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75316944","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouses_Point_station","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3097453"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/clinton-county/rouses-point-railroad-station-04001454/"}
