Laurys station, also known as Laury's station, was a Lehigh Valley Railroad station in Laurys Station, Pennsylvania. Both the station and locality drew their name from David Laury, a local notable who established a hotel on the site in 1832 and later served as postmaster.
Service began at Laurys in 1855 with the opening of the Lehigh Valley Railroad.[1] As was common for that era, it used a locally-constructed building.[2] The railroad added an engine house in 1859.[3]
The railroad constructed a new brick passenger station building in 1884.[4] It was designed by Walter Gilman Berg. It was a single-floor structure with, appropriately for the region, a slate roof. The building measured 34 by 25 feet (10.4 m × 7.6 m). It contained separate waiting rooms for men and women, including toilets for both; an agent's office; and a baggage room.[5]
Passenger service to Laurys ended in May 1938; the station and freight house were town down the following September.[6]
