It serves the Framingham/Worcester Line. It is located off Washington Street (MA-16) in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Wellesley Hills has two low platforms serving the line's two tracks; it is not accessible. Designed in 1885 and completed in 1886, the station was the last of nine stations that H.H. Richardson designed for the Boston and Albany Railroad. It replaced a previous station, built in 1834 with the completion of the Boston and Worcester Railroad. HistoryThe Boston & Worcester Railroad (B&W), extending outwards from Boston, reached through the West Parish of Needham in mid-1834.[1] North Needham station was the terminus for a few months while construction continued towards Worcester.[2] In 1839, the line was double tracked through the area.[3] The station was later renamed Grantvile, then briefly Nehoiden, and finally Wellesley Hills in 1881 when the West Parish was fully separated from Needham as the town of Wellesley.[2] Wellesley Hills station was designed by Henry Hobson Richardson in 1885 for the Boston & Albany Railroad,[4] and was the last in a series of stations he designed, all featuring rough-cut light colored stone with dark stone trim around windows and doors, slate roofs, and varying amounts of decorative dark stone carvings.[4] As a B&A station, it originally served both commuter trains in the Boston Metropolitan Area and long distance trains toward Albany, New York. Though the platforms are still active for railroad service today, the station house is currently occupied by Caffè Nero [5], described as a European coffee house. The portion facing the street has been renovated and the original roofing has been removed. However, the sides and back of the building have been preserved, though the windows are boarded up and large air conditioning units have been installed.[6] The previous station building, constructed in 1855, has been moved across the road and converted to a private residence.[7] {{clear left}}References1. ^{{cite book |title=Boston's Commuter Rail: The First 150 Years |author1=Humphrey, Thomas J. |author2=Clark, Norton D. |lastauthoramp=yes |publisher=Boston Street Railway Association |year=1985 |isbn=9780685412947 |pages=21–25}} 2. ^1 {{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/historyoftownofw01fisk|last=Fiske|first=Joseph E.|author2=Ellen W.
