In 2004, we received
donations to purchase 11 picnic tables, which were placed in the
Grove for public use. We
also received donations to purchase 5 park benches, which will be
installed this spring around the station and Grove area.
In 2005, we are using grant money received from the Community
Foundation for the Alleghenies, along with a portion of our own
funds, to rewire the electrical system and replace the missing wood
floor in the freight room.
We have applied to other sources for grant monies to
help us complete additional projects this year if possible.
Current renovation
needs are:
-to restore the large bay window in the center of the station;
-restore the exterior lighting & “gingerbread” roof
decoration;
-replace the “Holsopple” signs at either end of the station;
-replace the exterior doors (current doors are temporary doors);
-install a furnace for heat in the station, allowing us to use the
building all year round
Contributions can be
sent to: Holsopple Historical Building; PO Box 314; Hollsopple, PA
