Schenectady Railway Building
The Schenectady Railway Building, designed by noted architect Marcus T. Reynolds, was a monumental stone and brick masonry building and featured a dramatic front arched window and cavernous waiting room. From 1913 through the 1930s, it was the bustling hub of the Schenectady Railway trolley system.
Over the years—especially after radical remodeling in the 50s—the property had fallen into disrepair. Layers of poor alterations and extensive damage including a significant portion of the ceiling underwent mid-century alterations that stripped the building of its original ornamentation.
In 2018, after undergoing massive renovation it was restored to its former glory and architectural and design elements of the original construction are clearly visible.
