It is also a well-preserved example of a late-19th century combined passenger and freight station, attributed to Wilson Brothers & Co. of Philadelphia.","narrative":"Built in 1883 on the west bank of the Hudson River at Milton, this one-story wood station served the New York, West Shore, and Buffalo Railroad. The 30-by-83-foot building has board-and-batten siding, a broad gable roof with deep eaves, and separate spaces for passengers and freight. A cut-out bargeboard in the gable spells \"FREIGHT\" and is described as a hallmark of Wilson Brothers & Co., the Philadelphia firm credited with the design. The freight room was extended south around 1890, and heating and interior changes followed in the early 20th century. In the 1960s, after rail service ended, a winery used it as a tasting room. The station sits on a site used for docks and trade since the 1700s. It is considered locally significant as a reminder of the railroad's effect on Milton's commerce and daily life, and as a well-preserved late-19th century depot that keeps its original plan and character despite later alterations.","period_of_significance":"1883-1957","architect_builder":"Wilson Brothers & Co., Philadelphia, PA","architectural_style":"Late Victorian/Stick Style","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed under current function as vacant/not in use; the station ceased operating in the 1960s and later served as a winery tasting room.
