Brunswick, a railroad town once called Berlin
Brunswick began as Eel Town along the Potomac in the 1720s before landowner Leonard Smith platted 96 lots in 1787 and named the town Berlin, which grew explosively once the B&O Railroad opened a massive freight yard there in 1883 and the town was renamed Brunswick at its 1890 incorporation. Roofs on one of Brunswick's 1880s-90s railroad-boom homes should be assessed against that explosive freight-yard-era construction rather than a modern subdivision's standard.
