Lynnfield Rapid Station

Lynnfield Rapid Station
In 1923, a shelter with living quarters on the upper floor was constructed at the Lynnfield station. The structure housed a waiting room, as well as tobacco and newspaper stands. Designed by local architect James A. Reese, the station was modeled on a Pacific Electric transit station prototype. Despite the relatively desolate surroundings at the time of its construction, the exterior was designed in order to meld with the intended residential character of the area. The stone and wood-shingled building was built at a cost of nearly $18,000. | Source: Shaker Heights Public Library
