About the Business
The NYW&B Administration Building, constructed in 1912 and operational until 1937, is a historic institution located in New York, United States. This building serves as a vital archive, preserving the rich history of the New York, Westchester & Boston Railway.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Westchester County experienced a surge in population due to its proximity to New York City. The construction of new railroads and trolley lines, including the NYW&B, catered to the increasing number of commuters traveling between their suburban homes and city jobs.
The NYW&B railway project, led by influential figures such as J.P. Morgan, was met with controversy and intrigue. Despite its relatively short lifespan, the railroad played a significant role in the history of Westchester County. Following its closure in 1937, the abandoned railway was gradually forgotten, with some sections integrated into the New York City Subway system while others returned to nature.
Today, the NYW&B Administration Building stands as a testament to this fascinating chapter in transportation history, ensuring that the legacy of the railway is not lost to the passage of time.
