New York Central Station, Syracuse

New York Central Station, Syracuse

The first New York Central Railroad (NYC) station was erected in the middle of Vanderbilt Square. The original station was demolished in February 1870, and a new depot was built on Franklin and West Fayette Streets at the edge of Armory Square. The second NYC station was in use until 1895 when a third station was constructed at the corner of Montgomery and Fayette streets.

Major renovation of the third station took place in 1910, which included the installation of a "huge electric sign" placed at the corner of Montgomery and Fayette streets. The third depot was demolished in 1936.

The fourth NYC station at 815 Erie Boulevard East was built in 1936 in Art Deco design when the tracks were elevated above city streets. After the railroad tracks behind it were converted into Interstate 690 in 1968, the building became the Greyhound bus station. Time Warner bought the building and brought back its former elegance, reopening it in 2003. By July 2009, the facilities were home to Time Warner's News 10 Now.

The building is known as the New York Central Railroad Passenger and Freight Station.
