Kingston Station
Kingston Station
Kingston's first station was a simple structure built by the Windsor and Annapolis Railway in 1869. A new station and siding were constructed in 1887.[1] The new station was built by contractors T. A. Clarke & Sons.[2] and contained the standard Windsor & Annapolis style of awning with a waiting room and freight room separated by the agent's office and operator's bay, but lacked the usual W&AR gothic window.
