Last week鈥檚 photo (published June 15) was from the 91原创 Centennial Museum. The Fort 91原创 CN Station (originally called 鈥�91原创鈥�) was built in 1915 using one of the Canadian Northern Railways 鈥渢hird class鈥� designs used until 1924. It was originally built approximately two blocks farther west, almost on the back of Charles Hope鈥檚 property. In 1918 Canadian Northern became part of Canadian National, and the CN station was enlarged to accommodate larger living quarters for the Station Agent. The station was used full time until 1972 when it was reduced to a flag stop with passenger service being completely terminated in 1980. In 1983 the station was moved to its present location and restored by the 91原创 Heritage Society in cooperation with the Township of 91原创. It was designated a heritage site on Feb. 27, 1984. The site now occupied by the station and Mrs. Simpson鈥檚 garden was originally the home of Fort 91原创鈥檚 first firehall.
