Curious about what’s been happening at the Edge Hill Service Station? Come and take a look for yourself on Thursday, April 26th, from 5:30 to 7:30. Co-sponsored by the Gloucester Main Street Association, we are hosting tours of the station, with updates on the restoration progress and historic rehabilitation process, information on donation opportunities, and outlining our vision for the restored building. And we’ll have live music by Steamboat Road and tasty treats for everyone to enjoy. This is the perfect opportunity to come by and (re-) introduce yourself to this Main Street landmark.
Ample parking is available at the Edge Hill Shopping Center directly across the street. We’ll have the garage doors open and plenty to see and learn about our future home, including photographs of the station from the 1930s and 1940s, information about our Restoration Workshop coming up in August, as well as our conceptual plans for the building and site. You can also meet some of the artists who have covered our windows with paintings. We’d love to hear your thoughts on the restoration and ideas for the making this historic building a contributing part of our Downtown- and we’d also like to hear about your old stories about the service station. The Edge Hill Service Station was once a focal point of the Gloucester community, and it will be again. Afterwards, consider having dinner at one of our fine restaurants on Main Street, such as Rosemary and Wine or Bangkok Noi (just a few steps down the road). What better way to learn about the past and the future of our community, enjoy great food and great music, and support local businesses and non-profits. We look forward to seeing you there!
