Interesting project.

Is that station a brick building, or exposed beam? It is hard to tell from that postcard. Here is another version of that postcard, from Wikipedia, that shows a much lighter color…

Hmmmmm, not the same postcard, afterall, is it?
More photos of that station, taken in the 1960’s

Steve,
It was of wood construction when built.
Just as interesting to note how the railroads back then were so integral to growth of resorts/towns. The D&H actually helped fund resorts to help their passenger service in Northern NY (Hotel Champlain which is now Clinton Community College) http://www.clintoncountyhistorical.org/slideshow/slideshow.html
In your research did you notice if the railroads actually built those resorts in the Catskills? Wondering if the boats were actually owned by the D&H as they had a fleet of paddleboats on Lake George to the North of you.
