Re: (rshsdepot) Howe Octagon station (OK.)

["JIMBEAR" <ribear_@_cox.net>]

Canaan, CT for one. It had an asymetrical octagon. Six sides had single
windows and two sides had double windows. In 2001, at the age of 130
years, most of the station was destroyed in a fire set by two teenaged boys.
Only a portion of one wing remains standing today :
