History

Manhasset station was built by the Great Neck and Port Washington Railroad in 1899, the year after the Manhasset Viaduct was completed.^[4][5][6] It was the penultimate station along the branch until Plandome station was built to the northeast in 1909.^[4][5]

Though a smaller wooden structure was originally built in 1899, the station was rebuilt in 1924, at which time the current station house – constructed in the Dutch-colonial style typical of stations such as Riverhead, Bay Shore, Northport, and Mineola – was erected.^[4][5]

A high-level platform was installed at the station in the 1970s, allowing the LIRR's new M1 electric multiple unit railcars – which required high-level platforms – to serve the station.^[4]

The station was renovated between 1999 and 2001, with the addition of more canopies and staircases – as well as a restoration of the station house.^[4]

The station has one 10-car long side platform on the south side of the track.
