Built in 1895 by the Boston and Maine Railroad, it is one of two surviving train stations in the town, and the only one still at its original site.

Description and history
The railroad depot is located two blocks east of its Central Square, at the northeast corner of Franklin and Pine Streets. It is a single-story brick building resting on a granite foundation, with a shallow-hipped roof whose extended eaves are supported by large brackets. The roof is pierced by cross gables which have fanlight windows that have been blocked up.[2] It is oriented with its long facade facing Pine Street, with the former railroad right-of-way on the other side (now used for parking on this parcel, and not readily evident in adjacent parcels).
Stoneham's first railroad station was built at Farm Hill in 1861, and a wood-frame gambrel-roofed station was built on this site in 1863; both of these were built by the Boston and Lowell Railroad. The present station building was constructed in 1895 by the Boston and Maine, successor to the Boston and Lowell. The Farm Hill station building still stands, but has been moved from its site to Central Street and converted into a residence. The railroad played an important role in Stoneham's transition from a modest industrial center to a commuter suburb of Boston.[2]
