(rshsdepot) Use of former train depot lot and ATV trail raises concerns in Windham [NH]



Use of former train depot lot and ATV trail raises concerns in Windham
WINDHAM, N.H. (AP) — Use of a former train depot parking lot that accesses a
popular ATV trail is causing a stir in Windham.

......

The depot was built in 1875. The area was also home to a general store, post
office and several boarding houses.

The commission has discussed restoring the remaining buildings and opening
them up to trail visitors or perhaps moving the buildings to another part of
town.

"Part of the problem is that where the buildings are now, they are in a
location that is so remote," Tynn said.

Commission officials plan to review other potential uses for the buildings.

"It would be wonderful to be able to put pictures on the walls on the inside
of the buildings of what the depot used to look like," Tynn said. "But
whatever happens, we would like it to be a useful building in some manner."
