Mason-Dixon Winter Wonderland, by BMW

In case anyone is still looking at this blog entry. The "Train Station" being referenced in the photograph is actually not a train station. It was the carriage house for the Tome Mansion (witch used to stand next door). It later served as a car delership and auto garage, and most recently as a private residence.

mgiven,

Thanks for the correction and background information. That's one of the nicer-looking carriage houses I've ever seen. It also explains why the railroad tracks are across the street, closer to the river, rather than right next to the "station."

Too bad the Tome Mansion is gone--it must have been quite impressive. I'd still love to get a tour of the Tome School (without risking a trip to jail!)

PS: I turned up a picture of the mansion from the portdeposit.com website. It was quite impressive! It was torn down, sadly, to build a community swimming pool (which is also long gone).
