The present building dates from 1883 according to the continuation sheets.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the station is a well-preserved example of a rural Pennsylvania railroad station and of a frame Queen Anne style passenger station of its period. It also states the station was central to the growth of East Stroudsburg and the summer resort traffic to the Poconos. The reviewers noted that the architectural significance was the area originally checked and was explained in the revised statement.","narrative":"Wooden railroad station in East Stroudsburg, Monroe County, built in 1883 on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western line and replacing an earlier station on the same route. The one-and-a-half-story building has a steep gable roof with cross gables, clapboard siding over board-and-batten wainscoting, and an iron-supported canopy that extends around the building and covers flanking platforms. Its features are described as characteristic of Queen Anne design. The station grew out of the railroad's 1856 arrival and the resort traffic that brought summer visitors from New York and Philadelphia to the Pocono hotels and boarding houses in the late nineteenth century. It was regarded as one of two major stations in the county. The listing rests on its architecture as a well-preserved rural example of a frame Queen Anne station, and on its role in local transportation and commerce. Passenger service ended in 1968 according to the continuation sheets, and the 1980 listing documents the building as a local landmark in the town core.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Closed in 1972 per the significance statement, with the building vacant but intact since then; the form also says it was in good structural condition.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:34.150417-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/80003572.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003572/70e8e66bad-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003572/70e8e66bad-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Ted Hoyt","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:East_Stroudsburg_railroad_Station.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Ted Hoyt</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:East_Stroudsburg_railroad_Station.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71995361","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Stroudsburg_station","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5329447"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/monroe-county/east-stroudsburg-railroad-station-80003572/"}
