An attractive new sign has been placed in front of the Many Depot.
The sign, which was funded by a grant from the William C. Pomeroy Foundation, reads as follows: ‘ KANSAS CITY SOUTHER RAILWAY DEPOT HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES IN 2000 BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR.’
Many street workers installed the sign at the depot last week. The metal sign is printed on both so motorists approaching the depot from both directions can read it.
Mary Brocato, chairperson of the Many Cultural District Advisory Committee, said “We are so pleased to have obtained this sign honoring our historic old depot.” She thanked Many’s grants writer Suzanne Williams for finding the grant opportunity and writing the grant proposal that made having the sign possible.
Brocato said another building in Many will also soon receive one of the signs designating Many’s old Sabine High School as a national historic place, thanks to a second grant proposal that the Pomeroy Foundation approved. The sign recently arrived and will be erected just as soon as the street crew can get to it.
