The Lackawanna Train Station Hotel

Posted: April 16, 2016 | Author: Greg Halpin | Filed under: Scranton Photos |Leave a comment

The Lackawanna Train Station Hotel is one of the most impressive buildings in Scranton. Built in 1908, it was a transportation hub for decades, providing train service to New York City. It was shuttered for decades and then rehabilitated in the 1980s. It no longer provides train service, but an effort continues to bring back trains to New York.
