**Mount Airy station** is a [SEPTA Regional Rail](/source/SEPTA_Regional_Rail) station at 119 East Gowen Avenue between Devon and Sprague Streets, [Philadelphia](/source/Philadelphia), [Pennsylvania](/source/Pennsylvania). The station building is listed on the [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places) and was built in 1875 with [Frank Furness](/source/Frank_Furness) as the likely architect.[3] The National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form lists the architect as unknown, but notes the similarities to the nearby [Gravers station](/source/Gravers_station) which was designed by Furness. Both stations display an aggressively styled roofline in the [Queen Anne](/source/Queen_Anne_style_architecture_in_the_United_States) [Stick Style](/source/Stick_Style). The Mount Airy station's roof is described as "combining hipped, gabled, jerkinhead designs with a double splayed profile" and the Graver's Lane Station might be considered even more aggressive.[4]

The station is in zone 2 on the [Chestnut Hill East Line](/source/Chestnut_Hill_East_Line), on former Reading Railroad tracks, and is 9.3 track miles from [Suburban Station](/source/Suburban_Station). In 2013, this station saw 193 boardings and 159 alightings on an average weekday.[5]

A [used book store](/source/Used_book_store) formerly occupied much of the station building.[6]
