The Erie Railroad Station in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania was built by the Erie Railway
(later reorganized as the Erie Railroad) in 1863. The three-story Gothic
Revival structure included a large hotel, called Starrucca House, with rooms
for 200 people and a 120 feet long dining room. Overall building size is 327
feet (100 m) length by 40 feet (12 m) width. The railroad converted the hotel
into offices and sleeping quarters for railroad personnel c. 1903. Alterations
were made to the building in 1913 and 1917. The Erie Railroad merged into the
Erie Lackawanna Railroad in 1960, which ended passenger train service over the
former Erie Delaware Division through Susquehanna in 1966. All remaining
passenger service on the former Lackawanna route
via Scranton , PA , was discontinued on January 6, 1970. The
station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
