Benson Street station

Benson Street is a former train station located in a residential section of the borough of Glen Ridge, New Jersey.

The station was constructed in 1883 in a unique English Tudor design with stucco facades and a slate roof[6] as part of the New York and Greenwood Lake Railway, an Erie Railroad operation, and was known as Glenwood.

[7] It later became a stop on New Jersey Transit Rail Operations Boonton Line, which runs from Hoboken Terminal to Hackettstown, and renamed Benson Street.

In May 2009, the Benson Street station was sold to private owners by New Jersey Transit to rehabilitate the aging structure, and the new owners began stabilizing the structure which had been damaged by a fire in the 1980s and was in serious disrepair.

On December 2, 2009, after a review from the New Jersey State Historical Preservation Organization, the new owners received approval to begin preliminary reconstruction of the former Benson Street Station.
