    The current Brunswick station, formerly a B & O Railroad depot and now served by MARC commuter rail, looks just as it did when it was designed by architect Ephraim Francis Baldwin and opened in 1891. Originally on Seventh Avenue, it was moved to its current location in 1907. It is a wooden frame building in the Queen Anne style with stone walls up to the window sills, and features Palladian windows in the roof dormers. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 29, 1979.

He partnered with his brother Abraham, who ran the Kaplon Store of Harpers Ferry, to open a location in Berlin, as Brunswick was then known.

The family continued to do business there until 1967.
