 The station was built in 1902 by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad (or New Haven Railroad), replacing the one that had been built around 1850 by the Stockbridge & Pittsfield Railroad and which had burned to the ground the previous year.It is architecturally unusual in the region, where the Tudor Revival was not commonly seen in railroad station architecture.The station and line were acquired by the Housatonic Railroad, which became the Berkshire Division of the New Haven Railroad in 1892.
