As is customary for me, after skiing at Holiday Valley, I stop at the Depot Restaurant for a snack across the street. Being the end of Presidents Day and a late Monday night, it was pretty quiet. Only a handfull of people so not much distraction.
While sitting at the bar eating my snack, I noticed a picture on the other side of the bar. It was a picture of a rr station. I assume it was Ellicottville. I asked the bartender if I could see it. When I looked at it I was really surprised. It was an original photograph of the station where it was originally built. I have no idea how long this picture has been there but it is the first time I've seen it.
The caption in the picture states that the station was built in 1903 and the brick platform was built in 1913. It is double tracked in front of the station. One home viewable in the immediate background. Unfortunately, the picture is washed out so you can't really see much in the distant background. But back then, it probably doesn't look anything like it does now and difficult to make comparisons anyways. This is a b&w photo. Great photo but again kinda washed out. It is not the same photo as in the site of existing rr stations in NY.
Where did the station originally sit in Ellicottville? I know where some of the row is but not all.
