Oldest Passenger Railroad Station in California
Wait, don’t look - did you know where it is, the oldest passenger railroad station in California?
This is California Registered Historical Landmark No. 955 and it is listed here:
“NO. 955 MENLO PARK RAILROAD STATION - This building, constructed in 1867 by the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad Company, is the oldest railroad passenger station in California. The Victorian ornamentation was added in the 1890s when the station was remodeled to serve the newly-opened Stanford University. The extension on the northwest was added to accommodate increased traffic generated by the establishment of Camp Fremont nearby during World War I.
Location: 1100 Merrill Ave, Menlo Park”
