---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The former Erie depot in Spencerville, Ohio has for years set empty after
being used by the start up Spencerville and Elgin. Years of neglect had
taken its toll to the structure and paint.

Starting in 2009 with grant money from the state of Ohio and with
cooperation from Apollo Career Center in Lima, Ohio, the Allen County Port
Authority, the Allen Economic Development Group and with a little extra
elbow grease from myself and our son the depot is once again structurally
sound. Dr. Herbert Schum of St. Rita's Medical Center donated the paint and
he and his family spent at "staycation" and recently painted the depot into
the attractive cream, green and red trim scheme often found on Erie Depots.

There of course still a lot of work to be done. This was only an exterior
job to get the depot structurally sound and not an eye sore. No work has
been done to the interior. There are plan to integrate the depot into part
of the nearby Canal Trail project, but, a lot of work yet needs to be done.

If interested in helping along with a donation, please contact me

The photos below show the efforts as of now...

Thanks,

Eric
