 The first attempt to remove the Upper Montclair station from the National Register of Historic Places came several months after the fire on February 5, 2006.Due to the fire, most of the station was a total loss minus the porte-cochere and the terra cotta tile lining on the roof.In October, New Jersey Transit used this as an opportunity to request the declassification, but withdrew the offer to consult with local officials and other interested parties.
