This room took my breath away! I pray this building does not succumb to the wrecking ball. I would be sick.

Main Entrance

Lovely, lovely room! Would make a perfect lobby for a motel.

Stairwell

Beautiful, beautiful staircase! Kind of reminds me of the Titanic's lovely grand staircase.

Curve

It seems the paint is always the first to go; then the plaster, I guess.

Doesn't look that bad; it still would make a nice motel.

It's not just New York, Erin, it's EVERYWHERE!!!! Had a BEAUTIFUL old restaurant that used to be a horse and buggy stop in the 1800's near where I lived; they tore it down and build a WaWa.

Catwalk Access

This could even be restored and made into a restaurant or something. I went to the Tamaqua Train station, I guess it was about in 2002 and there was talk of it being fixed-up. You could see all the benches and ticket windows, mail slots and such through the windows. I was so glad to hear later they made it into a beautiful restaurant and even kept all the original benches, ticket windows, doors, etc.

Platform Overhang

We're getting to the time that we'll only be able to show our children and grandchildren things through pictures. Except for historical places like Gettysburg and such, even our entire landscape is changing through highways and freeways. One time I moved away for a year and when I came back, I actually thought I was lost because when I was gone, all these homes were torn down that used to be beautiful land and they put a six lane highway in!

The Terminal

Nancy

Thank-you for that information, Mike. It makes me feel better just to know someone's trying to preserve an important and beautiful piece of history--for once.

It looks like it was once covered in tile.

Platform

Nancy

Are they going to save the train area or just the main building? You just don't see many of the really old stations anymore.

Tracks

Nancy

Does this ever bring back memories! As a child, I used to go to the train platform, with a friend of mine and we'd watch the trains come and go; a simple thing that others today would probably find boring.

It looks so lonely.

Paperwork

Nancy

No, no, no; how can they just not care and throw everything on the floor like that? If it's not that important, then get rid of it. I don't know, what more can I say? I just don't understand the way some people go about things.

Another picture of waste.

Lanes

What a waste. My daughter used to be in a bowling league in school and they knocked down the whole building to put new highway in--pathetic!
