The image
shows what I believe was known as "Almont Station", but maps from the
time indicate only a "Depot" for the Lowell and Lawrence Railway.
This station was located at the very top of North Street, very close
to the intersection of East and North Street.
A train station (converted to a residential home) is still there, some
say it is the original station only moved across the street, we don't
know for certain. Perhaps it isn't the same building in this picture
and it was built at a later date? Let us know if you have the
answer!
