Sited below the surrounding grade at the Howard Street tunnel cut opening, the B&O’s third passenger station in Baltimore brought enhanced service to the Bolton Hill neighborhood. Its Romanesque Revival exterior of rusticated Maryland granite with Indiana limestone trim features a 150-foot-tall clock tower at the center. The unusual surviving original iron train shed directly behind the station is also impressive in scale. After rail service was discontinued in 1961, the Maryland Institute College of Art acquired and renovated the station, retaining much of the original interior, including marble columns, mosaic tile floors, and wood wainscoting. The successful adaptive use has been heralded as an early example of this preservation approach in a period when many U.S. architectural landmarks were being demolished.
