>dilapidated Grove Street building is already parked next to it.  Walker

>late 1950s or early 1960s and has gradually slid into disrepair.  A few
>years ago, Orange County officials talked with the Town of Monroe about
>giving the building to the town for a history museum once the county bought
>the stretch of unused tracks that the station sits beside.  Harriman was
>also negotiating to buy the property.  At first, Welle said, the railroad
>agreed to sell the land for $125,000 but then wanted to lease it.
