>ago. The two men also are replacing decorative plaster borders where the
>station's walls meet its ceilings in two main rooms. The restoration work
>required creating molds for the borders based on what remained inside the
>station when renovation work began.  Beard and Boswood pour the molds, let
>them harden and then stick them into place; duplicating the process used to
>originally make them when the station was built in the late 1930s. Bringing
>the station back to its original condition is a goal of its owner, Jim
Brewer.
