The following postcard images from my personal collection highlight some of the early penny postcards of Stoughton's beloved Railroad Station. 

This structure was completed in 1888 and constructed from local quarried granite from the Myron Gilbert quarries off West Street. The station was included in the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

As a point of comparison, take a look at the last three pictures in this gallery to see what the Station presently looks like.
