History |
|
Railroad stations in the 1870s through the 1940s were the portals through which people connected to every other town and city in the nation-and to the world. Hence for every municipality of any size, the railroad station was one of the main buildings in town, a social and business center, and as elegant as the railroad and the town could afford.
