CA&C Station
Located at Tuscarawas Ave (Barberton’s Main Street) this station was demolished in 1940.
The station was built by the Cleveland Akron & Columbus Railroad as a replacement to its New Portage Station. In its latter days is served as a passenger station for both the Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) and Pennsylvania (PRR) Railroads.
In 1912 this station was the site of a visit by Teddy Roosevelt. The Rough Rider was greeted by 5,000 citizens as well as town founder O.C.Barber.
The structure sat idle after the two roads moved the ticket and passenger waiting areas to the nearby freight station. The destruction of the red brick station made way for an enlarged parking lot.
The CA&C station was one of the earliest buildings erected in Barberton.
CA&C Tower
Located at Tuscarawas Ave (before the addition of the Viaduct), this structure existed on the North side of the CA&C Barberton Station and would latter be replaced by a single story REA building.
