Perrysburg, sometime spelled “Perrysburgh”, is a small town in Cattaraugus County, NY just west of Gowanda and was a station on the original main line of the Erie Railroad. This line was operated by the New York and Erie Rail Road (1851 – 1861), the Erie Railway (1861 – 1878), the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad (1878 – 1895), the Erie Railroad (1895 – 1960), and the The Erie Lackawanna Railroad (1960 – 1976). The line between Dunkirk and Dayton, NY was abandoned in 1976 with the creation of the Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail).
The photos here are from 1909, but the Erie Railroad annual report for the year ending June 30, 1913 stated that during that year the Erie built a new station in Perrysburg. A 1918 map drawn by the Erie Railroad listed it as a “Stucco Depot.”
