A depot for Sugar Loaf

A depot for Sugar Loaf - on the move: The image captures a bustling street scene where an old, wooden depot building is being relocated, drawing the attention of a few onlookers and briefly interrupting traffic along NY State Route 17M on the outskirts of Chester. A man is walking across the street, cars are passing by, and workers are visible on the roof of the depot and beside a truck, which is apparently used for transporting the building. The scene is described in a newspaper clipping as the depot beginning its journey to Sugar Loaf.
