Designed by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge (now Shepley Bulfinch of Boston), the station features characteristic round-arch windows with stone voissoirs, sharply incised square windows, and “sprung” slate roof

Because of its prestigious architectural and historic significance, the Coraopolis Train Station was named one of Pittsburgh’s Top Ten Best Preservation Opportunities in 2010 by the Young Preservationists Association of Pittsburgh.
