K. & M. Ry. Charleston W. Va. Sketch of Proposed Passenger Agent’s Office

Plans to update the Charleston, WV train station in the early 20th century.

This manuscript blueprint plan was created by the Kanawha & Michigan Railway Office of the Division Engineer and is dated 1909. Drawn at a scale of 1/4″ = 1′, the blueprint outlines proposed interior additions to the K&M train station in Charleston, West Virginia, specifically the construction of a dedicated Passenger Agent Office.

A partition measuring approximately 10 feet alongside a new doorway connecting to the main ticket office comprises the modest alterations. Other labeled features on the floor plan include a large general waiting room, the Truitt News Stand, a fireplace, a Men’s Smoking Room, and a Ladies’ Room.
