Former Lake Shore and Michigan Southern and New York Central Railroad passenger depot is a historic train station located at Westfield, New York.
Former Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway and New York Central Railroad Station is a historic train station located at Westfield in Chautauqua County, New York. It was constructed in 1904, for the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway. It is a 1 1⁄2-story brick, terra cotta, and sandstone structure in the Romanesque style. It served as the main transfer point for rail passenger destined for the Chautauqua Institution.
In 1983, the Station was sold by Conrail to the Landmark Society of Chautauqua County and then to John Sarif, Jr. the same year. In 1988, Dr. Randall Swanson purchased the station and lovingly restored and maintained the station up to his untimely death in 2011. Robert Galbraith purchased the building in 2012 and has carried on Dr. Swansons legacy as the new steward of the facility. Robert's wife Katherine is the proprietor of The Station Art Gallery, now housed in the historic building and open during the summer months from late May to Labor Day.
