Coudersport and Port Allegany Railroad Station

The Coudersport and Port Allegany Railroad Station is a railroad station in Coudersport, Pennsylvania in the United States. It was built by the Coudersport and Port Allegany Railroad in 1899 and opened in January 1900 during the lumber industry boom in Potter County. When the lumber ran out, the railroad's business decreased and in 1964 the line and station were purchased by the Wellsville, Addison and Galeton Railroad. The station was abandoned in 1970 and was unoccupied until 1975, when the borough of Coudersport purchased it. The borough restored it and put a new roof on, then used the building for office space. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 21, 1976.

The structure is red brick and sandstone, with a central portion and two wings. The center is ​2 1⁄2 stories tall, each wing is ​1 1⁄2 stories. The depot has a bellcast gable roof all the way around on the ground floor and a second on much of the second story. As of 2009 it serves as the office building for the borough government of Coudersport, and is the only remaining structure from the Coudersport and Port Allegany Railroad.
