Former Dayton & Michigan (B&O) Depot
Title:  Former Dayton & Michigan (B&O) Depot
Description:  This second-generation Dayton & Michigan station was built sometime after the original station burned down in 1878. It was on the southeast corner of 3rd Street North Taft Street at GPS: 41.020214, -84.047643. The brick station reportedly cost $50,000 to build (The Plain Dealer, 4-18-1887). It appears, according to Sanborn maps, that sometime between 1893-1900 the station was moved one block north to its current location at 4th and Taft. Either that or another brick station of the same dimensions was built at 4th and Taft. Then sometime between 1911-1924 it appears that the building was enlarged and the tower was added to the NE corner (a visitor to the site reports two distinctly different foundations under the building).

Description:  From a source online, this tower was added sometime around 1911-1924 when the depot was enlarged. It does add a nice touch to the all brick building now serving as CSX MOW office.

Former Dayton & Michigan (B&O) Depot
Title:  Former Dayton & Michigan (B&O) Depot
Description:  The west side of the former Dayton & Michigan depot had the small freight dock. I would imagine at the turn of the century, this littel depot was fairly busy with passengers and freight arriving and departing.
