Title
Wakefield Upper Depot at 27-29 Tuttle Street, Wakefield, Mass.
Description
Photos show views of the Wakefield Upper Depot train station located at 27-29 Tuttle Street on the east side of the street. The railroad tracks and North Avenue lie to the east of the building. The Victorian station is made of brick and was built in 1889. After being brick red for many years, it was repainted in historic colors in the early 2000s. The building's decorative chimney pots are particularly noteworthy. The Haverhill Line commuter rail to Boston still stops here at Wakefield Station, but the building itself is used for commerical offices.
