Railway Station Press open house
Boyce, Virginia


On Saturday, June 23, 2007, about forty visitors attended an open house at the Railway Station Press in Boyce, Virginia. The press is run by Stuart Bradley (APHA/Chesapeake chapter Secretary).

Stuart teaches Chandler & Price platen press letterpress workshops in both his Boyce and in Alexandria, VA locations.

The Boyce Railway Station was built in 1913 on the Norfolk & Western Railway. It was built with private funds in terra cotta and beautiful cypress woodwork throughout. The printing shop and offices of the Railway Station Press are located in the Small Waiting Room and the Ticket Office. The press has expanded to an Alexandria, Virginia location where the workshops are now taught.

The Press is located in the Small Waiting Room which is 18 feet by 24 feet with a 25 foot ceiling and clerestory windows. Click here to see the Railway Station Press website.
