About Depot Square:

The Depot Square in Tuckahoe went through major changes in the early 1900's. Until 1910 the Depot Square and the railroad were at the original grade level. In 1910 the Depot Square and adjacent structures were raised by approx 3'-0 and the railroad was lowered so the Main Street bridge could be constructed. Around 1930 the Depot Square went through it's final major change, the removal of the Dusenberry Building and the enlarging of the Depot Square to its present size.
