Bridgetown Station

The first Bridgetown station was a standard Windsor and Annapolis passenger and freight station.

It was replaced in 1919 by a Tudor revival station - CPR Station No. 16 (1) The station was at first four feet shorter than today's structure. The early station contained two waiting rooms, one for men (a smoking area) and one for women and children. Later a freight room was added to accommodate the increased traffic.

In June of 1994 both land and building were purchased by Joanne Acker. Seven weeks of extensive renovations generated the End of the Line Pub.
