Union Station

Northampton, Italy

Union Station is a historic building in Northampton, Massachusetts, that served as a train station from 1897 until 1987. Built at the close of the nineteenth century, the structure incorporates many features of the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style. The buff brick masses of the station ar

e trimmed with red Longmeadow brownstone and hooded by red tile roofs. Steep dormers protrude from the roofline. The interior once featured Italian marble floors, oak woodwork, and a large fireplace. The building, which is privately owned, was converted in 2013 into a 200-seat banquet facility, a sports bar, and an underground venue known as the Tunnel Bar. In 2014, passenger rail service at this location was restored when Amtrak's Vermonter began stopping at a new passenger rail boarding platform located just to the south of the Union Station building. In 2019 Amtrak added additional service, with two daily round trips of the Valley Flyer.
