The Annapolis Royal Station, circa 1891-1900, courtesy of the Annapolis Heritage Society, Archival Collection.
Caption from Facebook Post: Susan Lucille Walker-Saunders was wondering if we had a photo of the original train station. We'll have to make do with a photocopy, but this is what it looked like - from about 1900. It burned in the evening of Armistice Day, Nov. 11, 1918, according to the Spectator: "the fire bell rang and the people discovered that the old Dominion Atlantic Railway station, a large 2 ½ story wooden building at the foot of St James Street was in flames evidently the work of incendiaries. In less than an hour the old station was a mass of ruins, a pity from the point of view of waste of good fuel and building material, but the removal of a landmark that had become rather unsightly. This building was about 40 years old and was the home of the late Joe Edwards when he was station agent here, as also of Mr Carder who ran a restaurant, and was the railway headquarters for a number of years." The building in the centre, on St Anthony Street, was the old Spectator building.
