The Beaux-Arts style Erie-Lackawanna RR and Ferry Terminal was constructed in 1907; architects Kenneth Murchison and Lincoln Bush (rail sheds). The waiting room ceiling is constructed of Tiffany glass. The terminal’s iconic clock tower is actually a replica of the original clock tower, which was removed in the 1950s after storm damage. The current clock tower was completed in 2008 and replaced an obsolete communications tower that stood where the original clock tower had been torn down.
