Western Maryland Railway Station is a historic railway station in Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland. It was built in 1913 as a stop for the Western Maryland Railway. It is a 2 1⁄2-story hip roof brick building, reflecting the influence of the Commercial Style of the early 20th century. The building features overscaled Classical detailing, a stone foundation, and a massive, modillioned cornice with stone disks defining each bay. The building is also encircled by a one-story porch that has a cantilevered roof on three sides.[2]
The Western Maryland Railway ended passenger train service to the Hagerstown station in June 1957.[3]:266
The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1] The building is now used as the headquarters of the Hagerstown Police Department.[4]
