Kentville Paint / Repair Shop

The Windsor and Annapolis Railway built a paint shop at Kentville to the east of the Kentville Car Shop. It was replaced in 1928 with a new building to the west between the station and the Car Shop, with the frame being erected in May 1928[1] It was covered sometime in the 1930s with green "insulbrick" shingles, and later became known at the Repair Shop. It survived until the last years of the Kentville Railyard and was demolished in the early 1990s.
