By August, 1949, the Pennsylvania Railroad had abandoned its service on the route north of Corry, thus isolating the station.[4] It was abandoned by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1950. The property was purchased by the Village of Mayville in 1968.[5]
From June 1995 until the fall of 2000 the building served as a local access cable television studio.[6] The Chautauqua Town Historical Society now operates part of the station as the Mayville Depot Museum, which features exhibits of local history, railroad artifacts, Chautauqua Lake, ice harvesting, furniture manufacturing and steamboats.[7]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 as the Pennsylvania Railroad Station.[1]
