Dear Preservation 911,
The city of Galion, Ohio, is looking for someone to develop a historic New York Central train depot. The station, built in 1900, is listed on the National Register. Last year, the city purchased it to make sure it was protected. We are still searching for a developer.
Anyone with help or information can contact:
Linda Chambers, Main Street Galion (419) 468-4812
Phil Honsey, City Manager (419) 468-7414
Pauline Eaton, City Councilperson-419-468-7087
Sincerely,
Pauline Eaton
Galion, OH
