A Reading RR building from Lenhartsville, PA (looks nice) has been offered on CRAIGS LOOK with this phone #610-756-6463.
If I understand the ad correctly it is being offered for removal.

Hello:
To find the Reading building go to : Claz.org and type in RAILROAD and then )Reading, PA ) for the city. The Reading RR building should come up; at least it did when I tried.

Thanks for the link. I did manage to find it on that claz site. The building looks to be in good shape. First obvious location I thought of for this building would be the WK&S, but that's just my outside-looking-in opinion. Would also go nicely with the existing buildings at Williams Grove.

It would be on the WK&S branch line (Schuylkill & Lehigh (S&L) branch of Reading Company. The Lenhardtsville section went to scrap in the early 70's.

I used Google earth to see if I could locate the building but no luck.

I would suspect that this building could be a controlled "take-down" as long as you have the truck to get is out of the location.

Good luck if interested

It is visible in Google maps, try this street address: 9 Penn St, Lenhartsville Pa, then go to street view. In aerial view, it is the structure sitting on the old concrete(not used ) portion of Penn St, partially obscured by the tree canopy. It was moved from another nearby location to this location, so it definitely can be moved.

Hope it doesn't bite the dust like most other wooden railroad buildings!

I believe a similar/identical one of these is "preserved" (moved there to preserve it and restored, not sure what shape it's in now) at the White Deer RR Museum at White Deer, Pa. (on the Reading between West Milton and Williamsport).

Don't let that stop someone else from saving this one, though.
