Connecticut River Railroad Station is a former railway station located in Holyoke, Massachusetts.

Designed by the American architect Henry Hobson Richardson, this was one of the last in his series of Northeastern railroad stations. The station was part of the Connecticut River Railroad line and was built in 1883.[1] Today, this station has been converted into an automotive repair shop and though much of the external structure remains intact, the building is littered with graffiti and falling into disrepair. In 2004, this structure (along with Richardson's house in Brooklyn, MA) was cited as one of the ten most endangered historic sites in Massachusetts.[2]
