Western Maryland Elkins Station This section includes photos I have taken of the former Western Maryland Station in Elkins, West Virginia

On a foggy Sunday morning on September 21, 2003, I had the opportunity to visit the former Western Maryland Elkins Station and photograph it with few obstructions.  The station is now the visitors' center, and the heart of Elkins' historic identity.  The building was restored starting in 2000.  The most noticeable improvement is the roof.  The new roof in the photos here is much closer to the original roof, the main difference being only materials, if that. I previously thought the roof was black in old photos, but the circa 1915 postcard at the bottom of this page has set me straight.

Please do not link to individual photos, or use these photos on your site or publication without written permission from Pete Brown - the owner of this site.  Thanks.
