Village Preserves Majority of Bricks in Nassau Blvd. Parking Lot
The bricks are original to the station, which was built in 1907.
Reconstruction of the Nassau Boulevard train station parking lot is expected to be complete by mid-November. The Village has been able to use 85-90 percent of the original bricks, which are being laid out in a Herringbone pattern to match the original design of the lot. The bricks are original to the station, which was built in 1907, according to Village Historian William Bellmer. In order to maintain the aesthetics, the Village was able to find reclaimed bricks of a similar design from a company in Jamestown, NY and is using those as the border.
The much-anticipated project began in late July. The lot remains closed to vehicular traffic, including the entrance off of Nassau Blvd. The surrounding lot to the west is available for parking during construction; it can be accessed from Stewart Avenue via Euston Road and Wellington Road. Pedestrian access to the station building remains available, though we ask that you exercise caution when walking near the construction site.
