Northbound and Southbound Stations - Attleboro MA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

In 1891, the town petitioned the New Haven Railroad to eliminate dangerous grade crossings in the town. Two-story Romanesque station buildings were built on both sides; the northbound building opened in 1906 and the larger southbound building two years later.

Service on the branch to Taunton lasted until 1958, with summer-only long-distance service to Cape Cod lasting until 1964. In April 1979, off-peak MBTA service to Providence was cut back to Attleboro due to a reduction in subsidy from the state of Rhode Island. All service was cut to Attleboro on February 20, 1981.

On January 5, 1989, the station buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places. Both buildings are owned by private businesses.
