The current(4th) station opened in 1931. When it did, what happened to
the previous(3rd) station approx. 2 blocks west? As best as I can tell,
this is the location of the current engine house. Was it used for
another purpose? When was the third station torn down?
From Sanborn fire maps and a couple of photos I've seen, it seems there
was a water tank between the two buildings. Did this supply the water
columns at each end of the passenger platform of the current station?
How long did it survive?
Thanks,
