It is a one-storey granite and brick building with flanking wings.","why_significant":"The depot is significant for retaining its original late-nineteenth-century design and for serving as the town's major passenger depot until the mid-twentieth century. It also represents one of several civic improvements made in Uxbridge during the 1890s, when village improvement was active across the region.","narrative":"Built in 1895 for the Providence & Worcester Railroad, this former passenger depot at 28 South Main Street served Uxbridge as its main station until the mid-twentieth century. Local residents petitioned the state legislature in May 1893 for a suitable station, and the railroad was required to replace the original depot of 1849. Construction began in July 1894 and finished the next year. The building has a one-storey central section under a high hip roof with a slate covering, two flanking wings, and a high basement of rock-faced granite ashlar. A central dormer with a decorated gable and copper trim marks the street front, while the east side facing the tracks has a recessed platform on braced posts. Its style is eclectic with Queen Anne elements. Alterations include a glazed porch and modern window sash added in the 1970s. Declining train travel led to its closing and sale. It was listed for its integrity and its link to the town's 1890s civic improvements.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Eclectic, with elements of Queen Anne","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Closed as a depot in the mid-twentieth century and sold; later used as a bank (Savers Cooperative Bank at the time of the 1981 survey).","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:56.282046-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/25/7936/63793625/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/83004143.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83004143/38835d6147-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83004143/38835d6147-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Pi.1415926535","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Uxbridge_station_(2),_October_2020.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pi.1415926535</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Uxbridge_station_(2),_October_2020.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63793625","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uxbridge_station_(Massachusetts)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7904032"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/worcester-county/uxbridge-passenger-depot-83004143/"}
