The above photo looking north along Spruce Street Uxbridge towards the train station was taken around 1900.  On the left you can see The Revere House hotel.  This hotel was built by Fred Chinn in the 1870’s.

Over 100 years later looking north on Spruce Street we can still see the Uxbridge Train Station.  The Revere House hotel has been replaced by the Masonic Lodge, which was opened on June 4, 1962.  Apartment buildings line both side of the street today.

The photo above was taken in May 2023.  The train station and the apartment buildings were almost totally lost during the May 21 2022 tornado.  In this photo you can see the trees that lined Spruce St are almost all gone.
