"Dating to 1893, the Union News Company kiosk is believed to be the last of its kind still in operation and serves as 'a physical remembrance of a time when newspapers controlled the flow of information throughout the United States and the railroad controlled the country’s mobility,' according to the historic designation report," according to Westfield Historic Preservation Commission.
