Watertown Train Station



Widely regarded as one of the city's most beautiful buildings--most train stations featured marble, granite and fine wood throughout--the train station was located in what is now the downtown J.B. Wise parking lot. This area was the passenger and--until 1906--the freight hub of the region; the Derouin Plumbing and Adirondack Outfitters buildings along Newell Street (it was called River Street then), are surviving railroad freight houses.
