Queen City Transportation Museum

 

The Queen City Transportation Museum is located in the former Cumberland National Guard Armory.  The armory is a two-story Flemish bond brick structure built in 1925 and emulating a Medieval Fortification.  The front façade features a central block offset by two, three-story towers.  Tower tops are characterized by a ring of scalloped stone molding, surmounted by a ring of brick dentils, and topped by two crenelles per side with stone caps.  The center section is topped by two crenelles with stone caps with stone tablets bearing the seal of the State of Maryland centered between them.

The interior front of the museum illustrates WWI and WWII military history with exhibits and Honor Roll plaques listing the names of Allegany County residents who served in WWII.
