From Dave Morrison [oysterbay35_@_verizon.net]...
The first phase of the historical restoration of the Oyster Bay Train Station building is nearing completion. This building was Theodore Roosevelt's home railroad station while he was president. The building is in the final stages of being transferred from the LIRR to the Town of Oyster Bay, NY. It is on the NY State register of historic places and should soon be on the National Register of Historic Places.
Attached is a photo that was taken on November 10th. Higher resolution photos are available upon request.
There will be a photo-op on Saturday, November 13, 10am, at the station building.
Historical restoration expert Walter DeGroot will be present, as well as Friends of Locomotive # 35 board members, and station restoration committee members including Jim Foote (Theodore Roosevelt re-enactor).
