(erielack) Barberton Ohio station for sale?

[Mike Spinelli <sms158_@_uakron.edu>]

As you may know, the Barberton, Ohio Erie Railroad station was moved 
from it's original site to make room for  the adjacent industry to 
expand. It has been moved from the southwest quadrant of the 4th 
Street/railline crossing to land on the northeast quadrant. It was also 
rotated so the bay window still points toward the tracks.

There is a for sale sign on the land the depot sits. The depot is owned 
by a preservation group in Barberton. I don't know if the land for sale 
is the land the depot sits on, or whether they are trying to sell the 
depot to recoup their expenses from moving.

The building is well restored/renovated, and is a fairly large size (at 
one time 20 employees worked inside). Hopefully it can be of use to 
someone, either as a historical building or maybe a train hobby related 
business.
