Former Atlantic Coast Line 1924 baggage building. It later became a sales office and finally the signal maintainer's office. Located behind the passenger station.

Former Norfolk Southern passenger depot. It was a stub end station that trains had to back into. It has been bricked over on the street sides but the roof is the same and some of the old molding can be seen between the metalwork on the roof in the last three photos.
