Summary
| Description |
This magnificent train station was built in 1901, originally serving the C & O Railroad and the Seabord Air Line Railroad. It was built in the French Rennaisance style popular for that period. It closed in 1975 due to a lack of passenger train traffic. It was sold to a developer in 1983, but the rear train shed caught fire, postponing its reuse until 1985. The mall floundered for several years until it was sold to the Virginia Department of Health in 1990. They operated offices here until around 2001. The front part has housed a variety of restaurants and shops. In 2003, passenger train service returned here on a very limited basis. The latest idea floating around is to turn it into a multi-modal transportation hub. We'll see how that goes. |
