History

[edit]

The passenger depot was opened in 1890 by theLake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway, replacing an older depot on the same line. The station was acquired by the New York Central Railroad after merging with the LS&MS in 1914. Passenger service to Mentor ended in summer 1948. A variety of restaurants has been located in the old depot since then, including Gatsby's, Deeker's, and All Aboard.[citation needed]

Train derailment

[edit]

On June 21, 1905, at 9:05pm, an eastbound LS&MS-operated20th Century Limited trainhit an open switch near the depot. The resulting crash destroyed the old freight depot, and caused the deaths of 21 people on the train.[3]

Following the destruction of the LS&MS freight depot, a new freight house was built in 1909.[4]
