  • The Salem Depot was built by the Eastern Railroad (later absorbed by the Boston and Maine) soon after it reached Salem in 1839.
  • It was demolished in the fall of 1954 and spring of 1955, when the railroad tunnel was being extended and downtown rail crossings eliminated. In 1958 the site was paved over to become Riley Plaza.
  • A model of the Salem Depot was completed by Leon Masse and displayed for years at the Chamber of Commerce in the Old Town Hall, but has since been moved to Historic Salem's Bowditch House.
