Built in 1887, it was a small 1+1⁄2-story wooden structure with a pointed roof.The Chatham Railroad opened between Harwich and Chatham on November 21, 1887. It was immediately leased by the Old Colony Railroad, which controlled all rail lines on Cape Cod, as its Chatham Branch. The Old Colony was leased by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in 1893.Passenger service on the Chatham Branch ended in 1931; it was the first line on Cape Cod to lose service. Freight service on the line continued until it was abandoned in 1937, though Harwich Center station was no longer in use by 1937.
