Chapter Library moves closer to reality



July 16: Construction has begun on the Chapter's new libary at Martisco Station. In these photos by Mike Flannery, workers from JK Tobin Construction are placing footers for the foundation and floor. You can make out the original station foundation from 1870. A closeup is at right.
