"The Train's Coming!....
 

"The Historic Needham 

Train Station" Mural
 

Historic Photo Merge Of Our Original Grand Train Station

And One Of The Ornate Classic Needham Trains

This Archival Wall Wrap Will Be Located Directly Across From the James Restaurant That Contains

 The Only Remaining Part Of This Grand Train Station!

Featuring:

A Merger Of Two Historic Photographs From The "Needham's History Center And Museum" That Define Needham's Long Relationship With The Train

Image One: The beautiful granite walled train station adorned Needham Center until it became collateral damage to a fire in an across the street building. 
All that remained was the turret shaped foundation that is now a feature of The James Restaurant And Pub
 

Image Two: Decades ago an impressive, ornate train was positioned across Great Plain Avenue specifically for this photograph and features the great locomotive and it's entire crew beside it. If you look closely, you'll see a horse and buggy coming up Great Plain Avenue to the left of the front of the train! 

This fun mural transforms the building's rear entrances into a whimsical glimpse into Needham's relationship with the train and of a moment in our 300+ year history that is part of what has made Needham...Needham today. 

The landlord has already completed the surface revitalization so it is ready to receive this fun experience!

Your Sponsorship Will Transform This Rear Parking Area Into An Experience Of Needham's History That Brings Smiles And Curiosity To Every Passerby.
