OSSINING – The aging roof on the Ossining Metro-North train station will be replaced shortly. The new roof will correct issues with leaks in the station waiting area and increase the useful lifespan of the historic building, Metro-North officials said Monday.
The roof replacement will not impact platform access or train schedules and will be accomplished with minimal disruption to the 1,700 customers who use the station every week.
Constructed in 1914 by the New York Central Railroad, the station is one of the few surviving examples of an early 20th century Hudson Line railroad station. The Renaissance Revival style station building features a hipped Spanish tile roof with a bracketed canopy extension.
The new roof will replicate the original condition of the structure and will complement previous station upgrades including new platforms, canopies, elevators and stairways.
