Dunn Loring Station

As an attraction for potential home-buyers, the Loring Land and Improvement Company constructed a railroad station on this site for the planned subdivision of Dunn Loring. An 1880s advertisement said that good railroad accommodations were provided, that a tasteful and comfortable depot had been erected, and that telegraph and postal arrangements had been made. Unlike most other stations, which were built in a standardized style by the railroad, the Dunn Loring station reflected the late Victorian character of the surrounding homes and businesses. After passenger service stopped in 1951, the station functioned as a post office until it was torn down in 1963.
