[1]Added to NRHP: January 3, 1985 Old Pine Street Station, also known as the Old Western District Police Station House, is a historic police station located at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is a freestanding brick building of two stories raised on a partially exposed basement in the quintessential brick Victorian Gothic style. It was constructed 1877-78.[2]
The station was to be torn down to make way for a highway, but was saved through the efforts of preservationists and the demise of the highway project. The building is now used as a community center.[3]
Old Pine Street Station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
