Update from the Friends of Aberdeen B&O Train Station!!!
The Friends are on track to begin the restoration project by summer. The Maryland Historical Trust is
currently reviewing the work and we should receive approval in the next few weeks. Once we receive
approval the Friends will be soliciting bids and selecting a general contractor. The work items that will
be accomplished in 2023 include:
1. Install new slate roofing, flashing, ridge caps, finials, gutters, and downspouts.
2. Repair/replace the framing at the eaves.
3. Install new wood shingles, insulation and vapor barrier on entire structure.
4. Install salvaged and new matching brick on the foundation walls and waterproof foundation.
5. Repair/Replace all windows and doors.
6. Install beadboard ceiling where it was removed.
In preparation for this work, the Friends have taken some before pictures so that we can all see the
improvements.
