What has become of the postal office, is that now some part of the new station? Also is the old tower still standing just past the station.
The former postal building was torn down and the new parking garage was built on the location. The old tower was torn down in the early 60's when I-290 was built.

All that remains of the former station that was torn down in the 60's is the two Lions which were at each side of the entrance. The two lions are at the entrance to a park on Shrewsbury Street. There was also another station next to the B&A station, torn down many years ago, for the Worcester and Shrewsbury railroad, a 3' narrow gauge that ran from Worcester to Lake Quinsigamond and the old White City Amusement Park.
