Beautiful job. I especially like the transformation photos. What was that red iron for thats bolted to the building in the back yard shots?

Amazing job on the restoration - bet you could buy a VERY nice house for what that project had to cost. Beautiful building! So nice to see one saved like that.

Excellent job. From reading the various links and viewing the photo's seems like an expensive venture.

If, I recall correctly (read the article last week) that the sign pole and parking lot light poles were new (modern poles). I also liked them a lot.

I think this is the station that Wes was showing us a year or two ago. Wes as in Tara & Wes.
It's a beautiful station, done with a lot of care and pride.
Would love to visit this place in the fall.
