Maryland Daily PhotoEvery Week Day a New Picture from MD

A few years back, the Silver Spring B&O station was lovingly rebuilt by members of the community of Silver Spring.  It is not the first station on this site, but is still an important piece of the area’s history.    It was built in 1945, served as a B&O station, and Amtrak station, and as a MARC commuter rail station.   

I like this picture because the large building behind it is just one of the many that have been built and are being built around that area.   When communities are growing and are finding more wealth and progressing forward, it’s good to see that people can care enough to set aside some pieces of history like Acorn Park and like this station, so that we can enjoy the (in this case moderately) old as well as the new.
