Evansville’s Historic Greyhound Station to be Relit

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) _ The restoration of the old Greyhound Station in downtown Evansville will be marked with a ceremony to light the building.

The Evansville Courier and Press (http://bit.ly/1dtWfgX ) reports that Indiana Landmarks will hold an ice cream social for the June 18 event. 

The group has been restoring the outside of the two-toned station for the last year. It also has sealed water leaks, renovated windows and returned the original colors to the porcelain-enameled steel panels.

Christine Keck is an Evansville board member of Indiana Landmarks. She says the station “spans generations in terms of people who appreciate it and have a fondness in their hearts for it.''

Economic development officials have raised money to help lure a tenant to the station, possibly a restaurant.
