1985 – The borough decided to sell the now-stabilized railroad station building to a real estate developer who had made false promises for development of a strip mall on the site of the present day Wells Fargo Bank building and station site. The station and the entire block behind it were sold for $33,500. The Historical Society was left to wait and see as to what would happen with the property under the new ownership. |
1986-1990 – The station property along with the vacant lot on West Broad Street changed hands between would-be real estate developers severalĀ times. Eventually the bank building was constructed with medical offices above it. Yet there seemed to be no one willing to do something positive with our grand old railroad station. |
