Historic Town Barn on Eastern Union Turnpike by D. Robert HastingsEntry/Object ID
2021.3.31Description
PDF of a brief (two pages) written history of the historic Town of Sand Lake owned Public Works Department managed barn that is located on Eastern Union Turnpike. Bob's father, Clifford Hastings, managed a steam plant that was originally located in the barn for the benefit of the electric-powered Troy and New England (later United Traction) Railroad, which ran trolleys from Troy to Stop 13 in Averill Park, NY. The barn was relocated brick-by-brick as a Works Progress Administration project from Stop 13 to Eastern Union Turnpike during the 1930s while Clifford served as the Supervisor of the Town of Sand Lake. The Town is currently attempting to ensure the historic structure is further repurposed while maintaining its historic character. Refer to the weblinks section of this entry for more information about the creative efforts and contributions of Clifford Hastings. Hardcopy of the PDF is located in Page Protector 7 of the SLHS Miscellaneous Ephemera and Artifacts binder that is located in Drawer 2 of SLHS File Cabinet 1 located on the second floor of Town Hall. In addition, the PDF can be downloaded while fully logging into this system.Cataloged By
