Sedgwick station is a SEPTA Regional Rail station at 253 East Mount Pleasant Avenue between Sprague and Devon Streets in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The old station building was built in 1882 with Furness & Evans as the architect, according to the Philadelphia Architects and Buildings project but was damaged in an arson fire around 1980 and demolished[citation needed]. The current station facility consists of low level platforms with open shelters. A walkway under the tracks was sealed off due to criminal activity[citation needed].
