Bill DiPaolo: "Roof restored at former Henry Flagler train depot in Jupiter"

Go to the link here (Northern Palm Beach County blog) for a map showing the location of the historic train depot and a picture of the structure. Here is an excerpt from the article:
     The diamond-shaped shingles have been installed as part of the restoration of the former Henry Flagler Railroad depot at Sawfish Bay in Jupiter.
     The Loxahatchee Guild is aiming to raise about $200,000 to gut the inside, install the new roof, build new doors and a deck and do other repairs on the structure that was built in 1915 and was once a stop on Flagler’s railroad to Key West.
     While used to load and unload passengers and freight, the single-story structure was on the east side of Alternate A1A just north of Indiantown Road, near the current site of Bell’s Mobile Home Park, according to Jupiter records.
