Exploring Silver Spring Historic Sites



The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad station was built in 1945 and is a testament to the post-war development of the area. Since 2003, passengers have used a station a quarter mile away; the Georgia Avenue station is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Blair House and its accompanying park highlight the Greek Revival style of architecture. The house has belonged to the city since being donated by the Blair family in 1933. Hungry travelers with a taste for nostalgia can quench their growling stomachs at the Tastee Diner, which has been a downtown mainstay for 68 years.
