This is the Schoharie Valley Depot which is now part of the Schoharie Valley Railroads Museum. The two-story brick station was built in 1875 to replace the original wooden station that had burned earlier that year. Up until recently a residence had been maintained on the 2nd floor. The light green object in the foreground is a cast iron "Man-Horse-Dog Fountain" which featured three drinking levels. Manufactured by the J. L. Mott Iron Works in an area called Motthaven in the Bronx, New York City, it once stood at the corner of Prospect and Main Street in the Village of Schoharie.
