 The station was probably built in 1848 by the Connecticut and Passumpsic Rivers Railroad Company, chartered in 1843 to provide railroad service along the Connecticut River north of White River Junction.The station's precise construction date is not known due to a lack of documentation; the assessment of its age is based on architectural analysis.About 1870, the freight area was enlarged by construction of an addition, and the building's lobby and office area was remodeled around the turn of the 20th century.
