Old Saybrook Railroad Station, 455 Boston Post Road, Old Saybrook, Middlesex County, CT
Summary
Significance: The Old Saybrook Railroad Station, Depot (AHSB No. CT-466-A, about 1900; 1936) and Interlocking Tower (HABS No. CT-466-B, about 1912) are significant as surviving, intact examples of turn-of-the-century railroad junction architecture and design. Both structures are historically significant as evidence of Old Saybrook's importance as a railroad junction and the development of regional transportation and recreation. Additionally, the Depot is significant for retention of its exterior and interior historic fabric. The Interlocking Tower is significant as evidence of the development of railroad communications and safety technology; for the retention of its original manual switch lever interlocking machine, and as one of three, remaining, early, timber-frame construction interlocking towers on the New Haven Railroad main line between Boston and New York.
