[MassHistPres] Train Station Purchase

[Susan Munafo]

We have an historic train station in Swampscott that is owned by the MBTA
(it is on the National Register).   Town Meeting voted to approve the
purchase because it is in desperate need of repair and renovation and the
lease is running out.  Do you know of any towns or other organizations that
has purchased a train station?  Did they uncover any major issues after
purchase?   Apparently the town is now having second thoughts and we, the
Historical Commission, does not know why (it has been discussed in
selectmen's executive session).  

 

Thank you ,

 

Susan Post Munafo

Chair of the Swampscott Historical Commission
