Our annual appeal this year netted the Depot matching funding for this year’s project at the Depot.
A generous donor also offered to match those funds to restore the Ticket Office portion of the Depot. This renovation will include the operator’s desk, and office portion of the Depot, with hope of securing the Ladies Room ceilings as well.
