History and architectural features
Built by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad in 1884, this historic train station is a one-and-one-half-story, brick and frame building that was created in an eclectic Late Victorian style. The roof consists of a hipped form at the north end and jerkin head gable at the south. Featuring wide, overhanging eaves, exposed rafters, and a freight platform, it was abandoned by Conrail during the 1970s, and then restored and adapted for office use in 1986.[2]
The freight building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 as the Reading Railroad Freight Station. It is located in the Lewisburg Historic District.[1]
