Norfolk and Western Railway Company Historic District
Norfolk and Western Railway Company Historic District, Railway historic district in Roanoke, Virginia.
The historic district encompasses three railroad buildings constructed by Norfolk and Western Railway, including a neoclassical office complex and passenger station.
The General Office Building South was constructed in 1896 after a fire destroyed the previous headquarters, with its western wing added in 1903.
The district buildings represent architectural evolution from Neoclassical Revival through Art Deco to Moderne style, reflecting American railway development patterns.
The former passenger station now functions as Roanoke's visitor center and houses both the Historical Society of Western Virginia and O. Winston Link Museum.
The General Office Building North features architectural elements similar to New York's Chrysler Building, including geometric brickwork and cast-aluminum details.
