History and architectural features [ edit ]
Built in 1868 by the Central Railroad of New Jersey , this historic train station is a two-and-one-half-story, brick building with one-and-one-half-story wings on either side. Designed in the Victorian style, it features an overhanging hipped and gable roof, with a large wooden cupola . Passenger service ceased in 1963, and the station closed in 1972.[2]
Wilkes-Barre was also served by another station that hosted Delaware and Hudson Railway , Lehigh Valley Railroad and Pennsylvania Railroad trains.[3] [4]
