Susquehanna (Erie Railroad station)
Encyclopedia
The Erie Railroad Station in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania
was built by the Erie Railway (later reorganized as the Erie Railroad) in 1865. The three-story Gothic Revival
structure included a large hotel, called Starrucca House, with rooms for 200 people and a 120 feet (36.6 m) long dining room. Overall building size is 327 feet (99.7 m) length by 40 feet (12.2 m) width.
The railroad converted the hotel into offices and sleeping quarters for railroad personnel c. 1903. Alterations were made to the building in 1913 and 1917. The Erie Railroad merged into the Erie Lackawanna Railroad in 1960, which ended passenger train service in 1968. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places
in 1972.
