Richmond station is a historic building located on rue Principale Nord in Richmond in the province of Quebec. The current building was constructed in 1912 by the Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) to replace the previous wood-frame structure which had been destroyed by fire.^[4]

The brick building has granite lintels that give it a more refined look than the earlier stations.^[4] The two storey central block has two symmetrical single storeys on either end, which have had dormer windows added more recently.
