Five days a week you'll find her in this 200 year old house in Warsaw, NY. That's okay with George Almeter, because this is the Gates House museum and she is the curator.
WARSAW â If youâve passed through town on South Main Street, itâs almost certain youâre familiar with the old Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg freight house.
The approximately 110-year-old building harkens back to a time when the village was a significant regional manufacturing hub. But the challenge in the modern era has been finding a practical use for it.
The buildingâs owner, Rob Fontaine has secured a permit to demolish the old building, village officials confirmed Friday. Part of its east loading ramp was removed earlier this week.
Itâs a decision thatâs generating pushback from some area residents fond of railroads, village history or both.
