Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Mon Aug 13 20:33:16 2007, in response to Re: Glendale and Westbridge (Re: Abandoned LIRR stations), posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Mon Aug 13 19:50:50 2007. Here's the original Glendale Station house, around 1900. This is before Penn Station opened up, so this was a busy little line back then with lots of LIC ferry traffic coming through. Glendale's little stationhouse burned down in the 1920's. Glendale's stationhouse was then replaced with the shed seen in the photo in my above post. Maspeth was just east of where Haberman later wound up being, I believe at 54th and Rust. Maspeth also had a little small stationhouse, a little smaller than Glendale's. See Maspeth here in a 1923 photo, below Glendale As you can see, in the 1920's, all the stations were "real" stations...but by the late 1930's, service did dwindle, as can be seen in my Glendale photo in the above post:
