History and architectural features
Designed by architect Furness & Evans, Gravers station was built in 1872 or 1879, according to the Philadelphia Architects and Buildings project. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 7, 1977, and was acquired by SEPTA's regional rail division in 1983.
The building combines a commuter railroad station with a residence on the second floor, and includes a range of materials and stylistic features, leading one architectural historian to call the style "histrionic."[4]
The station is located in zone two on the Chestnut Hill East Line, along former Reading Railroad tracks, and is 10.3 track miles from Suburban Station. In 2013, this station saw 124 boardings and 125 departures on an average weekday.[5]
