Columbus ???? I don't know if this is from Columbus, Ohio or another state. There was no info provided with the photo. Does anyone know for sure? Perhaps this served one of the railroads and sat in a different part of town? It appears that it could be a Hocking Valley/C&O type design.
Columbus Columbus & Eastern This freight house sat on Mt. Vernon Ave. Originally it was the CS&H Freight House, built by the Columbus and Eastern in 1864; in later years the same building became the N&W outgoing Freight House. Does anyone have a photo?
