Cookman in the Jacobean Revival style. Its elevated track and clock tower are presented as among the most attractive railroad stations in Western Pennsylvania.","narrative":"Built in 1911 in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, the station complex consists of two one-story brick buildings with basements, laid in Flemish bond with stone trim, joined by a covered passageway 26 feet wide that leads to the tracks. The passenger station, designed by William H. Cookman in the Jacobean Revival style, measures 49 by 115 feet and has a gable roof with bracketed eaves, a copper-domed clock tower with stone belt courses, and a porte cochere over the street entrance. The baggage station, 88 by 59 feet, has a hipped roof. The complex was built when the Pennsylvania Railroad raised its track through Greensburg, a change that required tearing out the Main Street tunnel and elevating the depot tracks to their present height. The station is valued for its architecture and its link to the railroad's development in the town, which had been on the Pennsylvania Railroad main line since its early days.","period_of_significance":"1911","architect_builder":"William H.
