1980 Tax Photos of the loading platform

These photos from the 80s show the platform in a different state than in 1940. It follows along the entire west edge of the building, and there is a larger rectangular dock for trucks near the street.
The doors have been sealed with cinder blocks. The weathering on the brick near the street indicates the awning and the platform (as shown in 1940 blueprints) were partially demolished when the new dock was built.

Train platform, bricked up doors, awning intact



the platform in the 1940 blueprints does not show the larger extension to the awning and platform,
which was probably added when the LIRR Evergreen Branch closed.
