Modern Accord Depot, a passion project of Choreographer Chase Brock and Conductor Rob Berman is a 2019 reimagining of the 1902 New York, Ontario & Western Railway depot in Accord, NY.
Our approach to this renovation included the careful preservation of many vintage elements including the original entry dormer and ornament, the clapboard siding, the waiting room doors (no longer in use) and hardware, the ticket window, the barn door leading into the freight room, the ceiling beams and steel rafter ties in the freight room, and even a 1940s caboose, placed in the side yard by the previous owner, where it now rests on 100 feet of railroad track just a few feet from where the original track ran.
Modern Accord Depot, in addition to preserving New York, Ontario & Western Railway architecture, artifacts and history, is a dynamic arts residency space and one-of-a-kind Hudson Valley getaway serving dual populations: artists or non-profit arts organizations in need of residency space for creative meetings, research, workshops and rehearsals, and travelers (solo, couples and families) from near and far, in search of unforgettable vacation experiences.
