The brick eastbound (south) station was built in 1882. It replaced a station burned by a fire, and “is typical of the substantial brick stations built at small-town stops throughout the state in the period. Whereas earlier stations had been small wood-frame buildings, often in a picturesque Gothic or Italianate style, the stations of the 1880s were brick” to be fire-resistant and were larger to accommodate larger waiting areas and other amenities.  They were “well-built but utilitarian” structures.[5]:\u200a5\u200a The wooden westbound station “stands as an excellent example of the New Haven Railroad’s 1890s passenger facilities” reflecting changed priorities.[5]:\u200a5\u200a       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The Budd M2 cars necessitated high level platforms, and the low-level platforms were replaced in 1972.The two station buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[4] The 0.7-acre (0.28\u00a0ha) listed area was defined to include the two stations and their immediate surroundings, but to exclude a passenger cross-over and stairway, and to exclude associated parking areas.[5]The ticket window in the westbound station building was closed on July 7, 2010.[6]Station layout[edit]The station has two side platforms, each six cars (510 feet) long, serving the outer tracks of the four-track Northeast Corridor.[7]:\u200a22\u200a Stairs connect the platforms to the Unquowa Road overpass at the east end of the station. Fairfield station is only partially accessible – while the platforms are fully accessible, there is no accessible route between the platforms.[8]The station has 1,216 parking spaces, 376 of which are owned by the state and operated by the town; the main lot is on the north side of the station.[9]See also[edit]References[edit]^ Jenkins, Stephen (1912).
