Saratoga Springs Visitor Center, also known as "The Drinkhall," is a historic trolley station located at Saratoga Springs in Saratoga County, New York. It was built in 1915 by the Hudson Valley Railroad as a trolley station and now serves as a visitor center. It consists of four sections. The three-bay, stuccoed central block is flanked by lower 1 1⁄2-story, three-bay wings. The rear section has an open porch that served as the trolley platform. It is constructed of hollow red clay tile and topped by a slate hipped roof. The building features a decorative frieze with arrowhead motifs and decorative panels in the Beaux-Arts style. The interior of the central block features a high barrel vault ceiling.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
