Westbound Building
The westbound building is wooden and is one of the few remaining original station houses on the New Haven Line. On January 4, 2008 it was destroyed by a fire. The water that was being used to extinguish the fire caused most of the damage. The refurbishment was finished within the year after and the building was re-opened by then Connecticut Governor Jodi Rell in late February 2009.
The business utilizing the rental space is Southport Construction LLC.
Eastbound Building
The eastbound building is made of brick, and is no longer in railroad use.
The business utilizing the rental space is Paci's Restaurant.
