The Simsbury Railroad Depot is a historic railroad station at Railroad and Station Streets in the center of Simsbury, Connecticut. It is a single story rectangular brick structure with a wide overhanging gable roof, built c. 1875 by the New Haven and Northampton Railroad, and is notable for its fine Italianate style, including brick pilasters and dentillated cornices. The styling is particularly unusual for the period, as most stations had more Gothic Revival elements then.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 26, 1976.[1] Presently, it houses a restaurant, called "Plan B".
