Port Williams Station
Wood Station 1869
The Port Williams Railway Station, actually located in Greenwich, N.S., was constructed between 1869 and 1873. It is not known at this time if Port Williams was one of the original 10 contracted stations built in 1869 or if it was built sometime before 1873 as one of 23 stations present in 1873 for the newly minted Windsor & Annapolis Railway. It was one of the simple gable roofed W&AR first generation stations and was 40' x 22' with a 200' x 12' station platform, being the same as Hantsport, Grand Pre, Waterville, Berwick, Aylesford, Middleton, Lawrencetown and Paradise.[1]
