Description B. & A. R.R. DEPOT

The depot of the Boston and Albany Railroad was moved several yards down the line, and used as a freight depot, a few years after the 1880 view was taken. On the original site was built the romanesque stone depot designed by Henry Hobson Richardson.

By 1980 this stone depot building had fallen into a state of abandoned disrepair. The Richardson depot was restored by Lew Horton (who also restored the Union Block) and opened as a restaurant in 1985.
