Property Highlights

This is a vacant parcel. Hotel Charles was once on the site but was demolished many years ago. This parcel is now part of the Union Station rehabilitation project. Union Station consists of two vacant buildings on Frank B. Murray Street: a three story terminal building and a two-story baggage building. Constructed in 1926, both buildings are on the National Register of Historical Places. The terminal building comprises 120,250 square feet and sits on a 50,000 square-foot parcel, with access to Frank B. Murray Street. The baggage building comprises 92,618 square feet on 53,000 square-foot parcel and is connected to the terminal building. A significant amount of federal and state funds have been earmarked for the redevelopment of Union Station into a regional intermodal transportation facility, featuring expanded and enhanced passenger-rail and bus services. The City of Springfield and the Springfield Redevelopment Authority are committed to redeveloping Union Station so that transportation providers can offer their passengers the benefits of a completely rehabilitated state-of-the-art intermodal transportation facility.

Former Use: The Site consists of one parcel of land located in downtown Springfield, Massachusetts. The site is located on the East Side of Main Street and is a vacant and undeveloped rectangular-shaped 0.71-acre parcel. The parcel is an undeveloped grassy lot which serves as a small park area. The Main Street parcel was formerly occupied by a hotel, identified as �Cooley�s Hotel� on Sanborn Maps between the years 1886 and sometime before 1931, at which time the name changed to the �Hotel Charles�. Anecdotal accounts indicate that the Hotel Charles was demolished in the mid-1990s.
