"The large red brick structure was built by the PA&NY in 1884 as a freight depot. Later it was used as a station by several rail lines including the Barclay, Lehigh Valley, State Line & Sullivan and Susquehanna and New York. The north side of the building housed the station agent, train dispatcher and western union operator. The freight room was in the rear of the building."
