The Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel, formerly known as the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Station, is a historic building in Scranton, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1908 and widely considered one of the most beautiful railroad terminals in the east, The building is a neo-classical structure and was listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places on 6 December 1977.[1] This historic train station has been transformed into a full service, four-diamond hotel with modern amenities.
The crowing achievement was the revitalization of the Grand Lobby, which incorporates an ornamented mosaic tile floor, the barrel vaulted Tiffany stained-glass ceiling, the rare Siena marble walls and the unique faience tile murals that surround the Grand Lobby.
It is the setting (though not the actual location) for "Dwight's Speech" in that episode of The Office. At the first annual convention held by the show's fans in October 2007, many of the cast members stayed there.
