Description
This is the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Station (built 1918) at Fredericks Hall, Virginia. The railroad was operated under several names during it's history.
When the Virginia Central Railroad Company first built the line into Louisa County in 1836, the line only ran as far as the depot at Fredericks Hall. The railroads president, Frederick Harris lived nearby and made sure the line came to within easy distance for him to use the railroad to ship good and make frequent trips himself as to Richmond. The Frederick Hall depot quickly became the major point of departure and arrival for goods and passengers in the east-central portion of the county.
