Things to Do: The History of an LIRR Building [FREE]

This program is taking place Tuesday night.

The Wantagh Preservation Society is presenting a program Tuesday night on The LIRR Jamaica Station headquarters building, which was 100 years old on March 9.

Retired LIRR Branch Manager and railroad historian David Morrison wrote a book on the Jamaica Station in the Arcadia Publications “Images of Rail” series.

He will present a digital image program about the history of the Jamaica Station complex from the earliest days, to the massive 1913 improvement project, to the current historical restoration project.
