Manhasset is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Port Washington Branch in Manhasset, New York. It is located at Plandome Road and Maple Place, off Park Avenue – five blocks north of Northern Boulevard (NY 25A). It is 17.2 miles (27.7 km) from Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan.
History
[edit]Manhasset station was built by the Great Neck and Port Washington Railroad in 1899, the year after the Manhasset Viaduct was completed.[4][5][6] It was the penultimate station along the branch until Plandome station was built to the northeast in 1909.[4][5]
Though a smaller wooden structure was originally built in 1899, the station was rebuilt in 1924, at which time the current station house – constructed in the Dutch-colonial style typical of stations such as Riverhead, Bay Shore, Northport, and Mineola – was erected.[4][5]
A high-level platform was installed at the station in the 1970s, allowing the LIRR's new M1 electric multiple unit railcars – which required high-level platforms – to serve the station.[4]
The station was renovated between 1999 and 2001, with the addition of more canopies and staircases – as well as a restoration of the station house.[4]
Station layout
[edit]The station has one 10-car long side platform on the south side of the track.
