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

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

Got another gingerbread classic for you, also with an uneven
octagonal tower.  Chatham, Mass on Cape Cod.  (Yeah, I know,
that NYC caboose is way out of place. but no more so than the
B&Ms that used to be in Canaan.  <grin> )

  I saw this one before it burned when it has a "slew" of B&M and other caboose, cabeese, cabooses

  I didn't remember how many sides

  JIMBEAR wrote: 
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 :
