Re: [CBQ] Re: Spring BRHS Meet THIS Saturday!

Building is actually the CAMPANA building. They made cosmetics.
Building was vacant when I moved away in 2002. It is on National 
Registry of Historic Places.

Don't forget the Batavia depot museum and waycar on Houston Street, a 
block east of route 31.
CB&Q trackage thru Batavia is still in service... (was in 2002)...
crosses East Wilson Street at Van Buren, two blocks east of river.
CB&Q depot was moved through town and now sits by CNW right-of-way.

I lived a couple of blocks from there for 30 years before moving down here.
