Terminal time for historic Middlsex train station

The Times Argus reports that the historic Middlesex train station may be demolished because the local historical society cannot afford to move the property. The building, which is badly in need of repair, is currently owned by the St. Albans-based company Sticks & Stuff. Recently, Sticks and Stuff changed hands and became "eager to rid of the deteriorating train station." In an email to the Middlesex Historical Society, Sticks & Stuff executive Don Wells explained that the station's new owners "would either like to donate the station to anyone who might be interested in it and have it moved off the site at no cost to [the company], or tear it down as it presents a potential hazard and cost to [the company]." Now members of the society are "scrambling to generate interest in preserving a building they say played such a pivotal role in the history of their mill town."
