The Silver Spring Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Station is a historic building located at Silver Spring, Montgomery County, Maryland. It was designed in the Colonial Revival style and built from standardized plans developed for B&O stations in the mid-1940s.
The original 1940s waiting room furniture remains in the station, as are the original recessed fluorescent lighting fixtures. Also on the property is the Eastbound Waiting Room; a rectangular building rebuilt in the 1970s, when additional tracks were laid for the Washington Metro, and a pedestrian tunnel connecting the two buildings beneath the track beds.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
