Palmer, Mass Train Station Plans?

[dougnelson]

Anyone have a source of architectural plans for the Palmer, Mass. train station?  Thanks for any help.

Is that the Union Station in Palmer?  No, I don't have the plans - just curious.

Yes, Palmer Union Station. B&A, CV.

You could try asking the Steaming Tender, the restaurant that's in the building. The owners are the ones who did the restoration on the building and its a very train themed place. I feel that if they don't have plans they might at least be able to point you in the right direction. They've gone so far as to get an 0-6-0 and a passenger car for the parking lot.

Feels right from  what I remember having dinner there.

A beautiful piece of architecture. Between H. H. Richardson and Frederick Law Olmstead, I figured there had to be some plans around.
Hope this is a good start, and good luck building it!

Interestign that men's spacious bathroom area is called "Smoking Room". Women were not allowed to smoke?

Not in public, at one time.

I guess that likely explains this ad campaign.

@dougnelson do you have what you needed? I sure would like to see your model if and when you get to it...
