Built in 1915 as a trolley station for the Hudson Valley Railroad, the Saratoga Springs Visitor Center stands at 297 Broadway in Saratoga Springs, New York, in a structure historically known as "The Drinkhall." Designed by the architectural firm Ludlow and Peabody in the Beaux-Arts style, the building comprises four sections: a three-bay stuccoed central block flanked by lower 1½-story wings, with a rear open porch that once functioned as the trolley platform. Constructed of hollow red clay tile and crowned by a slate hipped roof, the edifice showcases characteristic Beaux-Arts ornamentation including a decorative frieze with arrowhead motifs and ornamental panels. The high barrel vault ceiling within the central block further exemplifies the style's grandeur. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, it remains a refined example of early twentieth-century transportation architecture.
