It is also described as an outstanding building in Beaver County, with its railroad and steel-company associations adding to its local importance.","narrative":"Built in 1910 by contractor John L. Stuard for the Pennsylvania and Lake Erie Railroad, this brick passenger station sits on a level lot beside the Ohio River, next to the Jones and Laughlin Steel Company works. Its steeply pitched tile roof has four stepped gables, and the building uses rose-colored terra cotta and stone trim. A porte cochere shelters the main entrance, and a wide pent roof with large brackets runs around the building. The station opened in 1911 to serve the growing steel town of Woodlawn, later renamed Aliquippa, and it continued to carry passengers until 1968. The Tudor Revival design replaced the Richardsonian Romanesque style used on earlier stations along the line. Its importance lies in its architecture and in its link to the railroad and the steel mill that shaped the community. Interior offices were added in the 1970s, and the exterior was later restored.","period_of_significance":"1910-1939","architect_builder":"John L.
