This station was built in 1895 by the New Haven Railroad five years after it absorbed the original Providence and Worcester Railroad. The tracks at the station are once again owned by the Providence and Worcester Railroad when it gained its independence from the Penn Central Railroad in 1973.
Passenger trains stopped at this station as they traveled between Providence and Worcester. You could catch a train here until the 50's when passenger service was terminated.
It served a short time as a bus depot after rail passenger service ceased. Until recently it was a branch of Savers Bank. It is now home to a real estate company.
