History

The Tarrytown station was first used by commuters in 1890.[8] The original station building, which also served as the terminus of John D. Rockefeller's private telegraph wire to his home in Pocantico Hills,[9] was destroyed in a fire caused by a cigarette in April 1922.[10] Plans for a new station were completed three years later in October 1925.[11]

Almost 120 years after the station first went into use, an announcement was made in November 2007 concerning a large scale refurbishment of the station as part of the second phase of MTA's Capital Program. The renovated building will include a ticket agent and waiting area, new heated overpasses, stairways and elevators as well as new platforms. Metro-North has set aside $3.5 million for the project with the expectation that design work would be completed by the second quarter of 2008.[12] Work at the Tarrytown station began in October 2009 and was completed, under budget and on schedule in 2012.[13] [14]

In March 2020, a bakery named The Bakehouse of Tarrytown opened inside the former station building.[15] [16]
