Milton station is a disused train station located on Dock Road at the Hudson River in Milton, New York, United States. It is a frame rectangular structure built for the West Shore Railroad in the late 19th century.

Passenger service ended in 1959. The station survives with the Highland Falls station as one of the few extant West Shore Railroad passenger stations. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2007 as the Milton Railroad Station. It has been used for tastings by a local winery, and a community group is renovating it to serve the Town of Marlborough as a community center.

Description

The station is located where Dock Road comes down from downtown Milton to the river's edge, in the midst of a small former industrial area. The Old Indian Trail Road leads to it from the south. A short, overgrown siding that once served the station and is considered a contributing resource to its NRHP listing is to the east. It is no longer connected to the still-active tracks between the station and the river.^[1]

The building is a one-story frame 30-by-83-foot (9.1 by 25.3 m) rectangular building with a broad gable tin roof and overhanging eaves. Its board-and-batten siding is painted red. The northern two-thirds of the building, the oldest part, sits on a sandstone foundation, while the southern portion rests on masonry piers.^[1]

Inside most of the area was built for passenger operations. It has a waiting room with a fireplace and chimney, ticket office, two bathrooms and a cross hallway. The walls of the passenger area are decorated in beaded panelling and horizontal trim. Some of the railway's communications equipment remains in the attic, and freight scales remain in that area.^[1]

Aesthetics

In one of the gables was a hallmark of the station's architects, a bargeboard with the scroll-sawn word FREIGHT. Aesthetically, it reflects the Stick style common in the period of its construction, with its well-integrated forms and flamboyant detailing leaving the building's singular function apparent. The battens provide vertical scale and the window trim the horizontal.^[1]

History

The station site had been actively used for transportation purposes by local Native Americans long before the first edit
