The Baltimore station was designed by Arrasmith and built in 1942. The building was faced with white limestone and features terrazzo floors. At one point, it served as a bank. The Greyhound inlay survives in the sidewalk at the Center St. entrance. In 1997, the building was purchased by the Maryland Historical Society. They were restoring the building as an annex when these photos were taken. The former station's running dog rooftop sign has been moved around the block. For more, see this website.

The Hagerstown station was built around 1950 and was being used as the "Washington Spy" restaurant when these photos were taken. The parking and entrance were in back where the buses originally were. The blue and white vitrolite façade reflects the color scheme of the original occupant: the Potomac Motor Lines Company which had a fleet of about a dozen white buses. Shortly after the station was built, it was taken over by Blue Ridge Lines. Around 1954, the building changed hands again to Greyhound. Washington Spy opened around 1998 and closed in 2004. By 2006, the building had become home to "VIP Mobility" (see bottom photo). For more, see this website. [info thanks Gerald McCauley]
