Framingham station is a historic Boston and Albany Railroad station in downtown Framingham, Massachusetts, designed by renowned American architect H. H. Richardson and built in 1884–85. One of Richardson's final railroad designs in the northeastern United States, it served as a major stop on the B&A Main Line and a hub for branch lines to Milford, Mansfield, Fitchburg, and Lowell. After decades of deterioration, the station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and restored in the mid-1980s. In 2001, MBTA and Amtrak operations relocated to a new nearby station featuring high-level platforms for accessible boarding and a footbridge for track crossing. This new facility ranks among the busiest on the MBTA system, handling 41 daily MBTA and 2 Amtrak trains on weekdays. Richardson's original station building survives substantially intact and now operates as a restaurant.
