History

The East Hampton station was built in 1895 by the Brooklyn and Montauk Railroad.{{cite web|url=http://www.oprhp.state.ny.us/hpimaging/hp_view.asp?GroupView=9067|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: East Hampton Railroad Station|date=May 1999|access-date=2010-02-20 |author=Robert J. Hefner|publisher=New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation}} The original station house remains standing and in use, and it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 2, 2000.[http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/NY/Suffolk/state2.html Suffolk County Listings at the National Register of Historic Places] In 2005, the building was open only on Sundays.

In October 2017, the MTA announced that it was planning to restore East Hampton Station to its original brick structure and green roofline, as part of a $120 million state reconstruction program for 16 LIRR stations in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.{{cite news |url=https://www.newsday.com/long-island/suffolk/east-hampton-lirr-station-to-be-restored-to-its-original-look-1.14623214 |title=East Hampton LIRR station to be restored to its original look |first=Rachelle |last=Blidner |work=Newsday |date=October 26, 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210510212133/https://www.newsday.com/long-island/suffolk/east-hampton-lirr-station-to-be-restored-to-its-original-look-1.14623214 |archive-date=May 10, 2021}}
