 By 1900 the original railroad station (a few hundred feet north of the current station's platforms) was no longer adequate for the growing community's needs.Gabrielle settled a dispute over where to locate a new station by donating land on the southwest corner of the farm that was used to construct a new station, opened in 1902 and now itself listed on the National Register.She stipulated that the area in front of it be left as a park to honor her father.
