I am a member of the board of the Piermont Historical Society in  
Piermont, New York. The Village of Piermont owns this station and our  
Society has undertaken the task of restoring the building. We found  
information concerning the paint colors and many detailed exterior  
photographs that have aided in restoration of the exterior.
But the inside is the problem. Did anyone ever photograph the  
interiors of stations with the frequency of the  exteriors?


    I'm afraid I can't be of help in this regard.   But I did visit the 
station some years ago -- an experience I'll never  forget.  For many years, the 
station was occupied by a man who, as I  recall, was the son of the woman who 
served as the last agent at this  station.  Sometime probably around 1990, the 
New York Times  published an article about him and the station.  A week or two 
later, a  friend and I were hiking in the area and decided to knock on the 
door and say  hello.  The guy who lived there opened the door, invited us inside, 
and  spent about an hour relating to us the history of the building and his  
experiences there.
 
    I'm glad that you're working on restoring this  historic structure!
