Regarding B. R. & P. Railway Station. National Register Statement of Significance:

The Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh Railway Indiana Passenger Station is the Borough of Indiana's principal relic of the railroad age. The one-story, hip-roofed frame building, constructed in a simplified version of the Queen Anne Style in 1904, is associated with the rail line that opened Indiana County's coal fields to exploitation in the early twentieth century. Rehabilitated as a restaurant in recent years, the well-known local landmark serves as a reminder of the former importance of railroad transportation
