The Lehigh Valley Railroad Engine House is a former railroad repair shop at 99 Towanda Street, White Haven, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1889 as a more permanent structure for the repair shop belonging to the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and now serves as a community library.

History

This White Haven engine house was damaged by a train derailment in 1973 and was repaired with concrete blocks and mortar.[1] In 2002, responding to citizen demands, the borough purchased the engine house from its private owner.[2] It now serves the community as the community library.[3][4]
