Mill Neck station

Mill Neck is a closed rail station along the Oyster Bay Branch. The station first appeared on the timetable of October 1, 1889 with the name of Bayville station.[2] The station was located at the Kaintuck Lane railroad crossing on the west side of Shu Swamp.[2] Services were provided in a railroad boxcar.[2] In November 1892, it was renamed Mill Neck station and it was moved to the Mill Neck Road crossing and a depot building was built.[2] The building was burnt down on April 3, 1911,[3] to be rebuilt in 1912 east of Mill Neck Road and north of the tracks.[2] Funded by local residents, the two-story brick and stone structure was designed by Harrie Lindeberg at a cost of $26,950.[2] It was later given to the railroad.[2]

The station was burned again in 1918, then rebuilt in 1919 slightly to the east of the previous locations. At some point during the 20th Century, a post office was added to the station. Mill Neck Station finally closed on March 16, 1998 along with nine other stations.[1][4] It is located between Oyster Bay and Locust Valley Stations. As of 2017 the historic station depot is home to a town hall, post office and Old Brookville Police Department substation.
