Looks like they're coming along nicely on rebuilding the burned wing of the New Haven depot at Canaan, Connecticut:

Thanks. This is one project that seemed hopeless.
But what a great relief to see it return from the
dead.

Here is a photo showing the reconstructed wing, with a visiting tourist train for Canaan Railway Days earlier this month.

Thanks for the photo of the Canaan depot restoration. Quite a comeback! About the only other structure I can think of that approaches its restoration, is the Pullman Company Administration and Clock Tower on the south side of Chicago. It was heavily damaged by fire and a massive, and expensive, restoration job, brought it back to its original splendor.

Back from the dead and cremated! Ideas like this breathe new life into hopes for preservation. Thanks for posting.
