 Victorian Gothic (architecture), 1885_construction

The Waiting Station, also designed by Adolph Scherrer in 1885, is the red brick Victorian Gothic building just inside the gates. The Waiting Station features contrasting brick, limestone Gothic piers, stone lintels and sills, and red terra cotta wall tiles. Before the advent of interurbans, trolleys, and autos, the Waiting Station provided a suitable place for family members to gather while waiting for others to arrive by carriage.

The offices the Crown Hill Heritage Foundation (920-4165 or 920-2644) are located in this building.

Unless noted otherwise, all guided tour participants will meet their guide in front of this building.
