The roughly two-acre parcel also holds two 1930 Pullman-Standard commuter cars.","why_significant":"The station is presented as a distinctive example of late nineteenth-century suburban railroad station design in the Hudson Valley. It combines a wide-eaved hipped roof with quality brick, terra cotta and wood detailing, and shows Queen Anne influence. It was built by the New York Central Railroad during its 1890-1920 expansion, and the two intact 1930 coaches add to its historic setting.","narrative":"Built around 1890 by the New York Central Railroad, this one-story brick station sits beside the Hudson Line tracks in Croton-on-Hudson. A broad hipped roof with deep eaves shelters the building and a trackside platform, and a porte-cochère marks the street entrance. The north end is faceted and wrapped in windows for the waiting room, while the south end, with small high windows and heavy doors, held baggage and toilets. Yellowish brick, textured terra cotta surrounds, and carved wooden braces on stone corbels give the practical design a crafted quality. The design shows Queen Anne influence and was likely produced by the railroad's own engineering office. The station served passengers until the 1960s. Later changes include a replaced roof, an enclosed porte-cochère and a 1984 interior renovation for offices, though the original room layout remains legible. Two 1930 Pullman-Standard electric commuter cars were added in 1986 and are counted as contributing parts of the property.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899 (specific dates c1890; 1930)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late nineteenth-century railroad station with Queen Anne influence","criteria":[],"status_note":"Interior renovated in 1984 for commercial office use after years of neglect; the station served as a railroad station until the 1960s.
