Menlo Park Railroad Station
This building, constructed in 1867 by the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad
Company, is the oldest railroad passenger station in California. The Victorian
ornamentation was added in the 1890s when the station was remodeled to serve
the newly-opened Stanford University. The extension on the northwest was added
to accommodate increased traffic generated by the establishment of Camp Fremont
nearby during World War I.
California Registered Historical Landmark No. 955
Plaque placed by the State Department of Parks and Recreation in
cooperation with the City of Menlo Park, July 4, 1983.
