Sandown Depot

The Sandown Depot is a former railroad station of the Boston and Maine Railroad in Sandown, New Hampshire. This wood-frame building was built in 1873-74 by the Nashua and Rochester Railroad, which was eventually absorbed by the Boston and Maine. It is the best-preserved of the Nashua and Rochester's stations to survive, remaining relatively unaltered since its construction, and still at its original location. The station was a major location on a heavily-traveled single track, with support services including a telegraph office, post office, freight depot, and a large siding area with capacity for 62 cars. It consequently became a major point of civic activity in the rural town. Rail traffic declined in the early 1930s, and the rails were taken up in 1935. The depot building was used by the
