I live very near to the hangar. I agree with you it would have been nice to see it preserved and to have turned into a museum with a tea room for tourists and locals…the train with tourists come through this road every year…

Too Bad at how the Island continues to allow its history to evaporate into the wind. Wedco should have sought to keep it’s historical structures with the Main Government’s assistance. Too much destroying been going on for decades on this island, which these buildings are good educational points for the generations. But no, we like to destroy our history as if we were a bunch of slap Graffiti artists.
Other jurisdictions many times will preserve and repurpose old structures, preserving history. It is our roots from our parents and grandparents. It would have been nice if more train ornaments were left over along the Railway Trail from the old train. All we have left is nine old stations and some concrete trestle supports. Could have been much more preserved. Nope- Destroy, Destroy and Destroy some more. If I destroy, I get locked up, but Gov’t loves to destroy and not preserve.

I remember going in there with my pops when I was a child and the ‘Clock Block’ housing was next door .
The late Bill Williams who had a thriving tour boat business and the Chris Craft agency back then used it as winter storage for his and client’s boats. The place was filled with incredible Chris Craft and Century woodies in beautiful condition.
I will say though that it’s a shame the slip has fallen into disrepair as it would be a much needed alternative place to trailer boats from.
And whoever owns that Donzi , please don’t neglect it.

I’m glad to see the old hanger gone. It would be nice if a state of the art community be erected for the Sandy’s community. A beautiful indoor gymnasium should replace the hanger.
