Notes
  • Significance: The Tuckahow Railroad Station of the former New York Central and Hudson River Railroad's Harlem branch is significant as one of the surviving stations and one of the most interesting stations erected during the period in the first decades of the 20th century when southern Westchester County was developing into a populous suburb of New York City. It was the presence of the railroad lines from New York City's Grand Central terminal, with stops in such communities as Tuckahoe that brought development to the area. The present station at Tuckahoe was erected in 1901, to the design of Minnesota architects and railroad station experts Reed & Stem, who were, two years later, to receive the commission for the design of Grand Central Terminal. The building received minor alterations and the addition of baggage elevator structures in ca. 1912, in response to the electrification of the rail line and the construction of new platforms set below grade level. The building is a handsome yellow brick structure with beige brick trim and Renaissance-inspired terra cotta detail and its interior contains original wood paneling, enameled bricks, benches, and other features.
