Lacawanna Terminal is a small shopping mall in Montclair, New Jersey originally built as a railroad station in 1913 on the Montclair Branch of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad.[3] The station building was built of brick, and followed a Grecian-Doric style of architecture. The station had six tracks, and electric service began in 1930. It and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 8, 1973.
The station closed in 1981, and was replaced by the Bay Street station two blocks to the east as the first stage of the building of the Montclair Connection, forming the modern Montclair-Boonton Line. The building was then converted into its current form.
