Wilson Brothers, the longtime competitors of the Hewitts in the Philadelphia region, chose a modern light-colored palette of Pompeian brick and limestone trim for this station. The delicately massed tower and slightly upturned roofs lighten the appearance of the building and connect it to the contemporary Arts and Crafts, though they termed it as being of the “Italian Style.” With its freight offices connected by a shelter that continues the lines of the main roof, it hints at the coming horizontality of the Prairie School.
