It also records the station's role in serving the transportation needs of Stuyvesant Landing and nearby communities from about 1881 until New York Central trains stopped there in 1958.","narrative":"Built around 1881 after a devastating fire swept the Stuyvesant Landing waterfront in 1880, this brick depot on Riverview Avenue served Hudson River rail travelers and shippers. The five-bay Italianate building measures 20 by 50 feet and has a hipped roof, a molded wood cornice, corbeled brickwork and a curved canopy carried on ornamental cast-iron brackets. Windows and doors have Romanesque brick arches, and a bay window in the ticket office gives a wide view of the tracks. Inside, the baggage room, ticket office and waiting room keep their paneling, molded surrounds and door details. Trains stopped here until 1958, and the building was later used for storage. Although deteriorated, it retains much original material. It was recognized for its architecture and for its part in the transportation history of a river landing settled in the 1660s. Plans call for a community center and small museum of local history.","period_of_significance":"c. 1881-1948","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Italianate","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Deteriorated and listed as vacant/not in use; used for storage from 1958 to 1996 and intended to become a community center and small local history museum.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.707109-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/99000055.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99000055/a9159e17f9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99000055/a9159e17f9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"John E Leslie III","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:StuyvesantStation.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">John E Leslie III</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:StuyvesantStation.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317089","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuyvesant_station","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14707385"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/columbia-county/stuyvesant-railroad-station-99000055/"}
