La Stazione is a restaurant and former train station in the village of New Paltz in Ulster County, New York. After a lengthy public debate over whether to place New Paltz's Wallkill Valley Railroad station to the east or west of the Wallkill River, the station was built in 1870 on the east bank, within the village. The station was robbed in 1880 by four men who were immediately arrested and brought back to the depot, where they were sent to jail by way of the railroad. The station burned down in 1907 and was rebuilt later that year. Passenger service along the line ceased in 1937, and by 1958 the station was completely closed and sold off. The building was in such a state of disrepair by the 1980s that it was almost demolished. It was renovated in 1988 and used as a real estate office. In 1999 it became an Italian restaurant, and served as the setting for a scene in a 2008 mob film. It was the first of two railroad stations constructed in the town of New Paltz, and is the only former Wallkill Valley station standing at its original location.
History
Planning and construction
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Beers_Ulster_County_Atlas_Page097.jpg/220px-Beers_Ulster_County_Atlas_Page097.jpg)
In February 1864, plans were underway to extend the proposed Wallkill Valley Railroad between the towns of Shawangunk and New Paltz.[7] A civil engineering survey to determine a possible route and cost of such an endeavor was undertaken in March of that year.[8] The proposal sparked a controversy over whether the route would run east or west of the Wallkill River in New Paltz. The western route was roughly 100 feet (30 m) shorter, and the eastern route would cost $25,000 more. However, it was felt that the increased economic activity from having the rail line run east of the river, and directly through the village of New Paltz, would offset the expense.[9][10] Bonding for the rail line through New Paltz, at a cost of $123,000, was completed by January 1869.[2][11]
By November 1869, the Gardiner rail depot had opened and was seeing regular traffic.[12][13] A second Gardiner station was constructed in the hamlet of Forest Glen, in the northern part of Gardiner.[14] The railroad was contractually obligated to start construction in New Paltz by May 18, 1870,[15] and work on the New Paltz station commenced that day. The depot was designed to be 20 by 80 feet (6.1 by 24.4 m).[16] It included freight and baggage rooms, as well as a water tank and engine house. The station also had two waiting rooms; most stations on the Wallkill line only had one.[17]
Half the lumber came from Honesdale, Pennsylvania, via the Delaware and Hudson Canal.[18] John C. Shaffer was the contractor, John C. Deyo provided the carpentry, and Snyder and Fuller painted it.[19] The depot's framework was raised on July 1, 1870,[20] and the depot was completed by September 1870.
The masonry for a bridge over the Plattekill Creek between Gardiner and New Paltz was completed by late June 1870,[21] and trestle work was done by July.[22] Beginning in late September 1870, the railroad had begun laying tracks between Gardiner and New Paltz.[23] The tracks reached the Plattekill Creek bridge by the end of October,[24] and the rail line finally reached New Paltz on December 1, 1870.[25]
Opening and early operation
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/New_Paltz_station_original.jpg/220px-New_Paltz_station_original.jpg)
The rail line was officially opened in New Paltz on December 20, 1870, during a day-long celebration. At that time, the Wallkill Valley Railroad was connected to the Erie Railroad's Montgomery–Goshen branch to the south; an inaugural train ran to Goshen, making stops at each station along the way, before heading back to New Paltz with about 350 passengers.[4] The station's telegraph was used to "receive... election returns" throughout the 1870s.[26]
On March 3, 1880, four men robbed the station's safe. They broke into the depot late at night and dragged the safe to the center of the station. They then attempted to drill holes into the safe and explode it with gunpowder, but failing that, cut off one of its sides. The contents of the safe were 300 cigars and a few bills and papers. After the suspects were arrested in Poughkeepsie, the local sheriff was reluctant to transfer the suspects to New Paltz.[27] The Poughkeepsie police were insistent that they be paid immediately for their services.[28] The day after their arrest, the men were allowed to go to a barber shop for a shave; some witnesses were unable to identify the suspects because of this, and the officers were publicly chided for incompetence. Cigars in the suspects' pockets were identical to the cigars in the safe, and along with tools recovered from the site, were used to identify the men. The suspects were brought to a jail in Kingston pending the ruling of a grand jury that April. A large crowd gathered at the New Paltz depot to watch them depart. The men were described as "cracksmen of the first water", possibly "stylish",[note 1] and so proficient at safe-cracking that, "if they [had] any chance at all, or [got] hold of any weapon, they [would] pick their way thro' the jail as easily as boring through a lime heap".[27] The men were subsequently convicted.[29] As a result of the burglary, the station agent was given a revolver,[26] and it became policy not to keep valuables in the safe overnight. On December 8, 1880, another thief broke a window at the depot and stole a box of cigars.[29]
Two sheds had been built adjacent to the station by 1881.[30] The land the sheds were built on was purchased the previous year by Mohonk Mountain House co-founder Albert Smiley for $500.[31][32] The sheds were built to "house [the Mountain House's] horses".[33] During this period, as many as fourteen stagecoaches each day transported guests between the station and Mohonk.[2] The West Shore Railroad purchased the Wallkill Valley line in June 1881,[34] and placed an additional siding by the depot in 1887 to allow daily "special extra-fare trains ... for the Minnewaska and Mohonk visitors".[35]
Former president Chester A. Arthur visited the station with his daughter in 1884. He was welcomed by the railroad's director and brought to Lake Mohonk.[36] Another former president, Rutherford B. Hayes, occasionally attended conferences at the Mohonk Mountain House. In 1892, several townspeople held a reception for him at the station, giving him "three rousing cheers". Other notable Mountain House guests who arrived by train were opera singer Ernestine Schumann-Heink and orator William Jennings Bryan.[35] A sewage line was placed from the station down to the Wallkill River in 1905.[37]
Springtown station
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/95/Wallkill_River_Bridge.jpg/220px-Wallkill_River_Bridge.jpg)
As soon as the station in the village was completed, a second station was built at Springtown,[38] a hamlet in the northwestern part of the town of New Paltz[39] that once sported "its own post office, church, school, hotel, a gambling den... and a bevy of bars".[40] The station was planned to be two stories tall with an area of 16 by 40 feet (4.9 by 12.2 m).[41] A 413-foot (126 m) bridge[42] across the Wallkill River to Springtown was completed by December 1870,[43] and the station was constructed at the point where the rail line crossed Coffey Road.[44]
Throughout its history, the Springtown station was occupied by various tenants.[45] It burned down and was not fully rebuilt until 1911.[38] A house was constructed at the site of the Springtown depot the year before it was rebuilt.[46] The New York Public Service Commission, a regulatory agency founded in 1907,[47] ruled in May 1911 that the new Springtown station was adequate.[48] The Springtown station had no station agent or freight house.[38] In 1925, sparks shooting off a passing train caused a fire in Springtown that burned down six buildings, causing $7,000 in damage.[49] The prominence of the New Paltz station, as well as the growth of SUNY New Paltz in the village, caused the decline of Springtown as a community.[40]
Fire in 1907
The original New Paltz station burned down on April 23, 1907. The fire damaged freight and killed the station agent's dog.[50] A passenger car was used as a temporary station while the building was rebuilt.[51] By late September 1907, the concrete foundation and the framework of the new building had been put in place,[52] but work on the interior did not begin until November, due to a lack of lumber.[53] The depot was completely rebuilt by December 31, 1907,[54] and in active use by February 7, 1908.[55] While the original station had a gabled roof, the rebuilt station was hipped.[56] The rebuilt freight house was placed a distance from the depot.[57]
Closure
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/New_Paltz_station_renovation.jpg/220px-New_Paltz_station_renovation.jpg)
Passenger service along the Wallkill Valley line ceased in 1937,[58] and by December 1958 the building (then owned by the New York Central Railroad) was no longer used as a railroad station.[6][5] It was sold off in 1959,[59] and hosted a number of local endeavors, serving as a chapter house for the Knights of Columbus and as an office for a public-access television station.[60] Under the ownership of the television station, the roof and floorboards were repaired.[61]
In April 1977, the owner of the property, Fetner and Gold Associates, attempted to open the building as a bar. Their zoning permit was rejected; the village mayor was "unalterably opposed" to the prospect, and the board believed that opening the building as a bar would lead to complaints from nearby apartments. It was also believed that it would be unsafe to open a bar adjacent to an active rail line, and that such a venture would threaten the nearby Huguenot Street Historic District.[59][60] On December 31, 1977, all regular freight service ceased along the Wallkill Valley line.[62] By the early 1980s the depot had become a "hangout for youths to drink and carouse" and the village considered dismantling it.[63] Conrail, at that time the owner of the rail line, removed all tracks along the corridor between 1983 and 1984 and salvaged the steel.[64]
Renovation
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/New_Paltz_Train_Station.jpg/220px-New_Paltz_Train_Station.jpg)
Robert Mark Realty bought the former station in 1986,[2] and renovated it at a cost of $175,000.[6] Renovations began in October 1987 and were more than halfway done by January 1988. Matt Bialecki, the architect who had overseen the renovation of the former New Paltz opera house as a restaurant, served as the project's architect. Wilro Builders acted as the contractor. The building served as a real estate office.[65] On February 9, 1999, the village approved a plan to allow the building to open as a 36-seat Italian restaurant, under the co-ownership of two men, Jeff DiMarco and Rocco Panetta. The station was given its current name, La Stazione.[3][2][66] DiMarco had previously managed construction for an adjacent restaurant, the Gilded Otter. He sold his ownership of La Stazione in August 2000.[67]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/La_Stazione_addition.jpg/220px-La_Stazione_addition.jpg)
The building is adjacent to a rail trail.[68] In 1991, the village of New Paltz purchased its section of the former Wallkill Valley rail corridor from Conrail, formally opening it as a public walkway, the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, on October 9, 1993.[69] The permit allowing La Stazione to operate as a restaurant required the placement of a sign in the building's parking lot to indicate the presence of the trail.[66] The village allowed La Stazione to place a public picnic table under an overhang by the rail trail, on the condition that the restaurant did not provide outdoor food service. In August 1999, the restaurant was forced to remove a gas tank and gas line that were placed under the trail, or risk losing its certificate of occupancy.[70][71] The building has a 3-foot (0.91 m) bike rack by its northern end.[72]
In 2001, the village was experiencing water drainage issues in the area by the restaurant.[73] By early 2002, the village approved plans for an expansion of La Stazione, which addressed the drainage issues; the restaurant offered to install larger pipes than were necessary in exchange for the village "defray[ing] their costs".[74][75] When the Gardiner station burned down on October 10, 2002, La Stazione became the last former rail station of the Wallkill Valley Railroad remaining at its original location.[17][76]
A scene from the 2008 mob film Front Man was filmed at La Stazione; the film's director, Ray Genadry, is the cousin of the restaurant's owner, Rocco Panetta. The scene featured Chris Colombo, son of the late Joseph Colombo, a former boss of the Colombo crime family.[77][78] Colombo had previously starred in a 2005 mobster documentary on HBO.[79][80] In January 2011, Panetta signed a lease to open a 76-seat Italian restaurant, Mario's Trattoria, in Kingston by March or April 2011.[81] Panetta also owns Rocco's Pizza, which opened around 2007 by the Stop & Shop in New Paltz.[82]
