Orrville, Ohio Union Depot

Built in 1868 by the Pennsylvania RR for its subsidiaries, the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago RR and the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus RR, the depot still stands today and is now owned by the Orrville Railroad Heritage Society and was acquired in 1982. The tower was subsequently moved next to the depot building. This circa 1920 card shows the original crossing and location of the signal tower.
