Lebanon, PA: Reading and Pennsy Depots

Reading: (Satellite)

Street View, Nov 2021

Old  Train  Station,  Lebanon,  Pennsylvania.
Jim Kelling: Reading Company station

I wasn't able to determine which rectangle along the Reading was the depot, so...
1955/56 Lebanon Quad @ 24,000

...I got an aerial photo. Because of the dormers and tower, it was easy to find. The track and field of the middle school makes it easy to correlation this old aerial with today's satellite images. It was in the southeast quadrant of 8th Street and the tracks.

In fact, it still exists.

Gardy Lawrence posted two images with the comment: "Here are two old postcard photos of the Cornwall & Lebanon Station in Lebanon, PA. The black & white shows the original station and the color shows the station after the addition was built on the south side. Later it became a Pennsylvania RR facility. It is still standing and beautifully restored housing the Strickler Insurance Agency."
