Building contractors sank 35-foot piles to secure the foundation of the building on the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/256">waterlogged ground</a>. Made of red brick pressed with black mortar, the building's three towers, elaborate roofs, ornamental iron, and red, blue, and green slates exemplified Victorian Gothic architecture. <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/347">President James A. Garfield was assassinated at the station</a> on July 2, 1881. The station was demolished in 1907 after nearby Union Station was built and the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad consolidated with other railroad companies.
