Roanoke Passenger Station/A Thought

Jim,

I hadn't planned to say anything until I saw your comment, but my recollection is that I have seen a claim that Miller and Rhoads Department store had the first esclators in Roanoke.

      Those escalators were indeed the very first ones in the Roanoke Valley.

  They were either the first or second.  My memory is somewhat shaded by time.  Leggetts Department Store had escalators installed about the same time.  I want to say the one at the station was the second in Roanoke.
