"The formal opening on Tuesday, April 4, 1911 was celebrated with gifts of postcard pictures of the station and a lengthy article in the Cortland Standard, the local paper."
"The following description appeared in the Cortland Standard on March 29th, 1911 -- "The passenger station is 155 feet long and 50 feet wide, including the pavilions or projecting roofs over the platforms and is two stories high. It is constructed of brown vit rified rockfaced brick for the base course extending up to the window sills, where there is a belt course of hunmel stone, brown-stone trimmings. From the belt course to the roof, including the second story, the walls are composed of hollow tiles with cement stucco finish. The brackets, canopy beams, etc., are of yellow pine stained Flemish green and varnished. The canopy lanterns are of black iron."
Architect: J. J. McCleece
