(rshsdepot) Two PRR buildings lost

["Alexander D. Mitchell IV" <lner4472_@_verizon.net>]

Report from the PRR_FAX Yahoo Group:

"The ex-PRR station at Newport, DE and the toolhouse at North East, MD 
have recently been razed."

The database at http://www.rrshs.org/Delaware/derrstruc.htm  calls the 
Newport depot a 1908 wooden structure; no mention of the North East 
structure.

Meanwhile, for anyone updating the databases, the Salisbury, Md. 
1914-built brick "union" depot (NYP&N/BC&A) was purchased by restaurant 
owners looking to set up a brewpub in said building, but after a round 
of fights over zoning fees, "impact fees," and the like, the company set 
up the brewery in a disused grocery store several hundred feet over the 
Delaware state line in Delmar, Del.  I spoke with the owners a week or 
so ago, and they're still reviewing options for the building, including 
opening another business or selling it.
