In 1887, Dr. Carl Wiehle bought large tracts of land east of Herndon, built a house (center), a three-sided Waiting Shed and a town hall while incorporating a town in his own name.  This planned community never found success, although 80 some years later a planned community called Reston did catch on.  A later railroad station and the gazebo (seen above c. 1900)  can be seen in the 1950's photo here  and are still standing beside the W&OD Trail.
