South Carolina Western Railway Station, also known as the Seaboard Airline Railway Station, is a historic train station located at Darlington, Darlington County, South Carolina. It was built in 1911 by the South Carolina Western Railway and is a rectangular brick building with projecting rectangular bays at the center of two sides. The hipped roof features a bell-cast profile, red clay tile, wide bracketed eaves, and intersecting gables. Each gable contains a Palladian window. Lawrence Reese, an African-American master carpenter who had constructed many houses in Darlington, built the station. [2] [3]
