Constructed in 1902 by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, this freight house, similar to those surviving in both Lansdale and Doylestown, PA, once served as temporary storage for livestock, building materials and other goods in the early 1900s as the trains interchanged freight between Philadelphia, Bethlehem and Reading. This building, and the adjacent surviving passenger station were added to the National Register of Historic Places in April 2000. Plans to rehabilitate and restore the freight house have been on going through the years with talk of a restaurant being proposed most often.
