Crestwood Railroad Station, Fisher Avenue at Columbus Avenue & Crestwood Plaza, Tuckahoe, Westchester County, NY
Summary
Significance: The Crestwood Railroad Station of the former New York Central and Hudson River Railroad's Harlem branch is significant as one of the surviving stations erected during the period in the first decades of the 20th century when southern Westchester County was developing into a populous suburb of New York City. It was the presence of the railroad lines from New York City's Grand Central terminal, with stops in such communities as Crestwood that brought development to the area. The Crestwood Station is a simple example of a Harlem Line station and it retains many features dating from a major redesign of 1928.
