Kendal residents may not be aware that one of 11 eagles that graced the clock towers following the 1898 Grand Central Station renovation landed at the Philipse Manor Train Station in 1911. The eagle’s impressive 14-foot wingspan continues to grace the train station and enhance commuters’ rides today. But the eagle is in dire need of restoration if it is going to survive for future generations.
A conservation assessment has determined that there is extensive corrosion, including potential structural damage. A committee of local residents has come together to address the issues and save the eagle.
On Monday evening, July 29, at 7:30 pm in the Gathering Room residents are invited to learn about this project so close to our own back yard.
Presenting will be Ray Endreny, Dawn Kriss and Eliot Martone.
