The Chronicle says that on Friday. Eli Haider-man, W. C. MeWhinuey and C. W. Hal* derrnan went to Summitville where they met Chsrles B. Henry with an Anderson architect and the style and size of the passenger station to be erected at that point was determined upon. The build-irg will be placed on the south side of the track at the point where the cars now stop. It will be 70 x 16 feet in width and will be as handsome a station as will be found in the state. It will be of wood. A shed ten feet wide will extend from the building to the track and from this shed another will extend over the tracks so that the cars can run in under and be out of the rain and passengers can alight without getting the least bit damp. The building itself will have iu the east end two office rooms. Next west will be the ladies’ room. Between the ladies room and the gentlemen’s room is a small restaurant where passengers can be served at a small lunch counter. The west room is baggage room. The whole building will be furnished in the very latest style and will be a credit to both roads. The grounds will be parked and a handsome cement walk lead from the east end of the depot platform to the street leading up to town. The details of the building will be given to any carpenter and contractor desiring to do the work.
