Cazenovia station (Lehigh Valley Railroad)

Lehigh Valley Railroad Depot is a historic railroad depot building located at Cazenovia in Madison County, New York. It was built in 1894 as a depot for the Elmira, Cortland and Northern Railroad, later the Lehigh Valley Railroad. It is a 1+12-story, rectangular, gable-roofed, largely clapboarded structure. It is a distinctive example of the Stick-Eastlake–style architecture. It was abandoned by the railroad in 1965.[2] This was a stop on the Lehigh Valley's Elmira and Cortland Branch which actually went to Canastota and Camden, on the section between Cortland and Canastota.[3] Service was eliminated by the early 1940s.[4]
