1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: The reason we want to preserve this building is because

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: it's the actual building. From eighteen eighty one.

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 2: Nicholas Steele was talking about this abandoned rail depot along

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 2: the Mass Central rail trail in Weston. The roof has

5
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: almost fallen off and now being held up by two

6
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 2: by fours.

7
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 3: It's empty. There was an old toilet that wasn't connected

8
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 3: to anything. I mean, it's just but it's just empty.

9
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: The quest to say this structure is being spearheaded by

10
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: the Friends of the Weston Depot, led by Alisha Primer.

11
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 2: The structure was privately owned for decades until being taken

12
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 2: over by the nonprofit a couple of days ago. The

13
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: goal was to first stabilize the structure so it doesn't

14
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: fall down, and then raise the money to turn this

15
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: into a space everyone can use. What that actually looks like.

16
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: It's very much up in the air. We want to

17
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: do what people in the town of Weston want.

18
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: Suggestions include a coffee shop, ice cream stand, and especially

19
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 2: bathrooms sorely lacking on the rail trail. They'll need around

20
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: two million dollars to pull it off, but in leafy

21
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: loaded Weston that shouldn't be a problem.

22
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 3: When we care about things in Weston, we spend money

23
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 3: on things.
