The eastern part of Manchester, near the border with East Hartford and South Windsor, is known as Buckland. The name is still in use and the Buckland Hills Mall is one of Connecticut's most well known shopping destinations. Amazingly the station and a brick building from the railroad days survive just behind the BJ's on Tolland Turnpike and can be accessed off of Adams St on a stub called Depot St. The station appears to be a small apartment building.
