National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination Form
Brunswick is a town with a double heritage, one aspect of which is reflected in its physical appearance, and the other which, except for a few scattered buildings, is extant only as a part of recorded history. In its early days, Brunswick (then known as Berlin) was a small river town whose trade-oriented economy was boosted by the arrival of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in the second quarter of the 19th century. The growth of the railroad ultimately altered the town beyond recognition when a large rail yard established there in the 1890s caused a massive building boom. Brunswick today is a railroad town of basically c. 1890-1930 period construction, with very few visual remnants of its earlier and quieter identity.
