Summary

[edit]
Description w:Queen City Hotel & Station located in w:Cumberland, Maryland was one of Five Combination Station-Hotels Built by the B&O during the 1870s. It was Designed by w:Thomas N. Heskett of the RailRoad's Road Department, was Italianate in Style, and was opened for the Accommodation and Entertainment of passengers in 1872. Though No Longer used as a Hotel, The Queen City was one of the last Remaining Grand, Railroad Hotels in the US in the early 1970s. Efforts to preserve this ornate, Victorian-era Structure was one of the classic preservation battles of the early 1970s. The battle was lost when the building was demolished in 1972.
