Regarding Stoughton Railroad Station. Excerpt from 1967 report describing the historical significance of the building:
The Stoughton Railroad Station achieves qualities of excellence through a skillful combination of simply shaped spaces and masses with beautifully restrained detailing. Perhaps its most appealing characteristic is its deceptive simplicity, for the size and use of ornamentation in relation to the scale of the building is remarkably sophisticated and the execution of both is deft.
