It is a wooden building located on Commerce Street at the intersection of Underhill Avenue in Railroad Park.

A combination of vertical dividers between sections and a horizontal course over the water table give it a half-timber effect.

[3] Two prominent citizens of Yorktown, Edward Underhill and Charles Whitney, brought what was then the New York and Boston Railroad to the town in 1872.

By the 1880s the railroad station was the center of town, surrounded by five stores, a school, a hotel, two locksmiths, a wheelwright and two churches.

In 2020, historic restoration work funded by a federal grant through the New York State Department of Transportation was completed for the entire interior and exterior of the building.
