The Beverly Depot–Odell Park Historic District encompasses a commercial and industrial area of Beverly, Massachusetts that was developed to its height in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A central theme of the district relates to Beverly's transportation history with several railroad-related buildings, a carriage manufactory and early automobile factory. The district, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014, include two buildings previously listed: the Beverly Depot, built 1896, and the main post office, built 1910.[2]

The district was nominated to the National Register by Windover Development in order to receive historic tax credits for their renovation of the former Friend Box Factory at 60 Pleasant St. into veterans housing. As the nomination was being reviewed by the Massachusetts Historical Commission, Windover Development planned to demolish the former Cushing Carriage Factory at 142 Rantoul St. and the former Hotel Trafton at 9 Park St. for the construction of a new apartment building. Both properties were placed on a one year demolition delay by the Beverly Historic Commission on Jan. 31, 2013. In a letter to Windover Development, the Massachusetts Historical Commission stated the Beverly Depot-Odell Park Historic District would no longer be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places if these two key buildings were demolished.[3]

A collection of brick buildings belonging to National Grid were included in the original nomination of the district but only one avoided demolition in Feb. of 2013.[4]
