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 (37 m) long dining room. Overall building size is 327 feet (100 m) length by 40 feet (12 m) width.[2][3]
The railroad converted the hotel into offices and sleeping quarters for railroad personnel c. 1903.[2] Alterations were made to the building in 1913 and 1917.[4] The Erie Railroad merged into the Erie Lackawanna Railroad in 1960, which ended passenger train service in 1968.[3] The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
