Description
This former Urbana/Hammondsport Depot is located in Depot Park in the village of Hammondsport along the south end of Keuka Lake, one of New York's famous Finger Lakes. The original railroad into Hammondsport was the 9 miles long Bath and Hammondsport Railroad that began operations in 1875. On Sundays from 1889 to 1907, as many as 7 passenger trains per day brought families to the village to spend time cruising the lake on the many steamboats that used to operate on Keuka Lake. The Village purchased it from the Livonia, Avon and Lakeville Railroad in 1995 and in 2004 it was dedicated as a building that now functions as a police sub-station, washrooms, and change rooms for the multi-use public park.
