Back up after some 70 years

Dispatch 07.08.1976

BACK UP after some 70 years is the train station sign that originally identified the Elkwood Ave. stop in Summit. Abandoned in 1905, the station was subsequently moved and turned into a private residence. The sign, however, remained among the missing until Mr. and Mrs. W.T. Lynch discovered it in a Passaic Ave. garage. With the help of Baldwin White of the Summit Historical Society, the sign made its way to Historic Murray Hill Square in New Providence where it now proudly hangs from the "new" Elkwood Avenue Station, a reproduction of the original which now serves as the home of the Golden Thimble Fabric Shop at Murray Hill Square.
