Round Hill Station
Mile 52.5
Round Hill had three stations. The first was a small, plain, gable-roofed 18' x 22' station built by the Windsor and Annapolis Railway.[1] The seconded station was a typical Windsor & Annapolis Railway design with a gothic window, a passenger platform and freight ramp which was built in 1890.[2] It burned circa 1920.[3]
A third station, built in an arts and crafts style, was constructed in the 1920s and torn down in the 1960's.
