You Might Have Missed It: North Shore Railroad headquarters

I love old-fashioned architecture, especially some that tells a story.

The North Shore Railroad company headquarters on Priestley Avenue in Northumberland does just that:

The railroad station building is a great reminder of the region’s logistics and transportation roots, while emphasizing that they are still very much a part of our modern economy.

You can check out more details later this month in our Commerce section, but logitics and transportation in the area is booming. – but many don’t realize  the NSRR headquarters are there, tucked beside the river in Northumberland.

If you love railroad architecture, this is a must see.

You may have missed: The Moose Milton

I’m starting a new feature here called “You may have missed.”

I want to showcase small details of places in the Valley that, well, you may have missed.

My first entry is from the Moose building on Front Street in Milton.

I never noticed the details on the top of the building.

Here’s a photo:

Very regal looking, and adds a nice touch to the landscape.
