>With the return of passenger train service to northeast Maryland came the need to restore this 1905 brick Georgian Revival train station to its original elegance.  The environmental concerns of lead paint abatement and asbestos removal only complicated this already involved and difficult historic restoration.  All millwork from the smallest cove molding to the oak benches in the waiting area were replicated closely with the original and new bricks were painted with a SPAR varnish to match the appearance of the original bricks that had weathered over an 87 year period.  Every existing window was restored with the use of epoxy and wood consolidation methods.  Not to be overlooked is the extensive repair of the structure which involved shoring up a 56 joist floor system.  Commuters on the revived passenger line can now enjoy this lovely restored train station on their way into the city.
