Western Maryland Hagerstown Station
This section includes photos I have taken of the Western Maryland Station in
Hagerstown, Maryland
|
On August 9, 2003, I had the opportunity to photograph this former WM station in
Hagerstown, Maryland. The station is currently occupied by the Hagerstown
Department of Police. Here is some information from their
site :
In the year 1912
the Western Maryland Railway, erected the building at the intersection of N.
Burhans Blvd. & W. Washington St. That intersection was formally W.
Washington St. & Foundry St. The building was used as a passenger
station by the Western Maryland Railway for many years. During the last
few years of the station and after the train stopped bringing passengers to
Hagerstown at this station, the railway used the building as administrative
offices. The City of Hagerstown bought the building and began renovation in
1978, it was soon to be the new Hagerstown Police Department. In January
1979, the Police Department was moved from the fourth floor of City Hall to the
new building, where it remains today. Most of the original structure is the
same, only minor changes have been made to the outside of the building.
