Shinnecock Hills was a rail station located along the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road and first opened around 1887 on the south side of the tracks, and closed in September 1932. The building was used as a U.S. Post Office and is now a private residence as of 2013. The name was revived for the former Southampton Campus Station for the 2004 U.S. Open.[1] In October 2013, it was dedicated as a Southampton Town Historic Landmark.[2]
