Subject Information	This graceful, Neoclassical building, erected in 1911, has stood the test of time and weathered many refurbishings. A small-scale version of the grander stations of the era, the waiting room retains touches of an elegant past in its brass fittings, antique wooden benches, and delicately hued stained glass skylights overhead.
