(former abandoned stations in this font)
Landia
Syosset - An older station dated from 1891 and was taken down in 1948. I don't know the date of the current station. Follow this link to A Syosset Scrapbook for pictures of the old station. The first picture was taken i nMarch, 1999; ther rest in February, 2007
Cold Spring Harbor - An older station was taken down in 1948. Again, I don't know the date of the present station. Same photo dates as for Syosset,
Huntington - The present station dates from 1909.
Greenlawn - Original station was built in 1870 and replaced in 1911. I have no information on the date of the current station.
Northport - I have no information on the date of the current station, which appears to be from around 1910.
Kings Park - The current station dates from 1948. An older station was built in 1891 and was removed when the current station was built.
Smithtown - Original depot erected 1872. The present building is from 1937. The second two pictures, of the original station, were contributed by David Huber
St. James - Station building completed in 1873, perhaps the oldest of the entire LIRR still standing. Definitely one of the most beautiful Victorian era buildings.
Flowerfield - Station opened 1910 on the estate of John L Childs (the seed and flower man of Floral Park fame). Service ended in the late 1940's. Building demolished July, 1959.
Stony Brook - Robert Emery (in 1959) lists the station as having been built in 1888. Ron Ziel's "Victorian Stations of the LIRR" (1988) says 1873, and that it was completely rebuilt in 1917. These two recent pictures show the exterior and interior, respectively.

Port Jefferson - The current station was built in 1903 and was recently renovated to its former state. The picture below was taken before the renovation. Perhaps you have seen the renovated station in one of the LIRR's ads in Newsday recently.
As you can see, several of the Port Jeff branch stations are fairly new and I don't have any information as to when they were built. If you have any information, please let me know.
