Lee Station is the historic railroad station at 109 Railroad Street in Lee, Massachusetts. It was built in 1893 to serve passenger traffic on the Housatonic Railroad, which operated the tracks that run through the town between Pittsfield to the north and Connecticut to the south.[2]
The station was built in the Stick style by the Housatonic Railroad shortly before it was absorbed by the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad (NYNH&H). It served as the town's main passenger station until passenger service was terminated in 1971 by the Penn Central Railroad, the NYNH&H's successor. In 1976 the building was converted to office use, and in 1981 it was rehabilitated and opened as a restaurant.[2] It also serves excursions of the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum.
