Great Valley, NY: Lost/BR&P Depot

(Satellite)


The Buffalo Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway Company posted two photos with the comment: "Photos of Great Valley station are pretty rare. We have a few including these two photos. The first shows the station in B&O days looking north, probably in the 1940’s, and the second shows the station peeking out from behind the buildings in the distance, center left, also in the 1940’s."

I have this view in my collection

Since Photo 1 above shows that the depot was east of, and parallel to, the tracks, it is probably the diagonal square on this topo that is north of Mutton Hollow Road.

I got an aerial photo to confirm the location. This was the oldest, and best resolution, available. It appears the depot was gone by 1956.
