One of the oldest Lackawanna buildings extant is apparently getting a new lease on life. Jan Packaging in Dover, NJ has removed the two additions that used to hide the face of Lackawanna's old Dover Car Shops building, and they appear to be restoring it. Attached are some then and now photos. The building in these photos was opened in 1881, the original structure burned in 1880. After a larger car and locomotive shop was built in Kingsland ca. 1905, the Dover Car Shops were sold to become Dover Frog & Switch. The building has survived a lot. The scene in the contemporary photo can be seen from a passing trains on NJTransit.
