Annapolis Royal Freight Shed

Annapolis Royal Freight Shed

The freight shed a Annapolis Royal was originally built about 1880 as part of the second station located near the Annapolis Royal Wharf. In Janury 1914, the freight shed was detached from the old station and moved to new location of the DAR mainline to serve as the freight shed beside the town's fourth station. The freight shed was the site of a major derailment on May 7, 1922. At some point, windows and a dormer were added to the second floor for an office or dwelling. The freight shed was demolished sometime after 1986.
