Lois Slotnick, Executive Director of the Boones Mill Norfolk &
Western Depot Restoration, Inc. just informed me that a construction
company has filed for a permit with Franklin County to demolish the
Boones Mill Depot.

Lois has been working with the town and other preservation
organizations to protect and preserve the station. Norfolk Southern
has offered to donate the station on the condition that it be moved
off their property. Neither Lois' organization nor the town have the
funds available for moving the depot.

Below is a link to a Roanoke Times article written about the depot back in May.
