The former Baltimore and Ohio railroad station in New Oxford (Adams County) Pennsylvania.
It serves as a museum today run by a non profit.
Arthur House: It’s a former Western Maryland Railway station, not a former B&O station.

Indeed, it was a Western Maryland depot.

I suspect that this was the source of the confusion. The museum needs a sign explaining what this was and that Western Maryland was the railroad in this town.
It was typical to build the agent's desk into a bay window so that he can better watch the trains come and go.
