Len.
That is the building I'm refering to. It was was formerly the Lehigh Valley freight station. In fact, there are big letters on it's front (the side facing the river) that say "Lehigh Valley Freight Station." The larger building, to which the freight house is attached, was the Johnson Machine Company.
The building that was torn down was used by the Railway Express Agency. It had suffered severe fire damage some years before being razed. But because the REA building was closer to the mainline tracks and the passenger station, it has been mistakenly identified as the LV's freight station over the years. Although, I suppose it's possible the LV used the REA structure, before moving to the extant brick building. I'm not an architecure expert, but it looks newer than the late 20's, when the passenger station was buillt. Perhaps the REA building was older, and formerly used by the LV?
Anyone know?
