History of The Station House

In the 1800s, Tuckahoe, New Jersey was alive with the sounds of commerce. One major industry was ship-building, and ships provided the opportunity for trade in glass and iron. Glass was manufactured beside the banks of the Tuckahoe River and shipped downstream to markets all over the Eastern seaboard. The Aetna Furnace worked full-tilt to provide nails and other iron necessities. There was even a steam boat that traveled the river for diversion on Sunday picnics.

When some of the local businesses passed, the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines, introduced in town in 1893, reinvigorated the area. Not only was Tuckahoe Station a stop between Philadelphia and Cape May for vacationers, it was also a hub for produce and grains, connecting the seashore with the city.

The building that is now The Station House was built to accommodate the train stops. The building's history is intertwined with the history of the railway and with the history of Tuckahoe itself. The building has been used for many purposes: first as a produce auction, then as a cannery, and a lumberyard. It served as DeSantis' Feed and Grain, and then as Dr. Price's Institute. For a long time the building stood unused, but with the renovation of the Tuckahoe Train Stop, and a new chance for a revival of Historic Tuckahoe, the building will now be available for fine dining and events.
