History
The land supporting the Tarrytown railroad station and its immediate surroundings were built on land reclaimed from the river and marshland[5] in the 1840s during the construction of the Hudson River Railroad. The station opened on September 29, 1849, when the Hudson River Railroad opened between New York City and near Peekskill.[6] An 1890-built station building, which also served as the terminus of John D. Rockefeller's private telegraph wire to his home in Pocantico Hills,[7] was destroyed in a fire caused by a cigarette in April 1922.[8][9] Plans for a new station were completed three years later in October 1925.[10]
Almost 120 years after the station first went into use, an announcement was made in November 2007 concerning a large scale refurbishment of the station as part of the second phase of MTA's Capital Program. The renovated building was to include a ticket agent and waiting area, new heated overpasses, stairways and elevators as well as new platforms. Metro-North set aside $3.5 million for the project with the expectation that design work would be completed by the second quarter of 2008.[11] Work at the Tarrytown station began in October 2009 and was completed, under budget and on schedule in 2012.[12][13]
In March 2020, a bakery named The Bakehouse of Tarrytown opened inside the former station building.[14][15]
