Following decades of neglect, a former rail station in Aberdeen, Maryland, escaped demolition in 2003. Now, after a recent restoration, the station looks just as it did when it was erected in 1885.

Once a stop along a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) train line, the building was designed by prolific Victorian-era architect Frank Furness in the Shingle Style, featuring a brick-and-cedar-shake exterior and a distinctive bulb-shaped chimney. (Furness designed more than 100 rail stations, but only a small fraction remain.)

Passenger service at the Aberdeen B&O Station ceased in the 1950s, and it has sat empty since the early 1990s.

A feasibility study revealed that because freight trains have gotten bigger, the 2,585-square-foot structure was too close to the tracks, so the Maryland Historical Trust and The Historical Society of Harford County funded the relocation of the station about 50 feet from its original site in 2015.

But it remained in poor condition until 2021, when its owner, the nonprofit Friends of the Aberdeen B&O Train Station, embarked on a $1.1 million restoration project designed by David H. Gleason Associates and executed by Bathon Builders.

The team made structural repairs, swapped lead paint–ridden cedar shakes for replicas, and sourced color-matched bricks to replace those that were failing.

The exterior restoration was completed in July 2024. The Friends group is preparing to tackle an interior rehabilitation this year, with plans to eventually rent out the space and create an exterior public interpretation component.
