Dear Kendrick City Council,
We the undersigned do hereby respectfully request you to preserve and restore the Kendrick Depot located in your city.
Please find enclosed/attached our petition with signatures and comments with reference to and support for preserving the Kendrick Depot.
It is an old repeated adage that we often don't appreciate what we have until it's gone. Kendrick's legacy and that of yourselves will be ill-famed should you be successful in accomplishing your goal of destroying the Kendrick Depot.
Fairness, equity and democracy demand that you at least consider and contemplate the voice of we the majority and there can be no question to any reasonable mind that all those that desire to destroy this depot are in a very small minority. For every one silent, passive supporter you claim we can easily produce ten-twenty that will give a voice, a signature and/or a face to their opinion. In matters such as these, those who don't want to stand up and be counted - shouldn't. [This is why our wise legislators mandated that issues such as this be voted upon by WE THE PEOPLE.]
Although you have been confronted with the reason, logic and commonsense of preserving the Kendrick Depot, you have decided for nefarious reasons to do the opposite. If we were to agree with your stated logic then we would not have many of the national historical landmarks that exists now all over this great country of ours.
You are selling the City of Kendrick's birthright for $50.00 and you should be ashamed. The Depot has survived flood and fire only to be possibly soon destroyed by your short terms in office.
If you are successful in destroying this historic treasure, the spot will forever remain as a monument to your administration's lack of vision, values, and voter support.
We still have faith in the goodness of humanity and hope that you will reconsider your position and best serve the interests of the majority of Kendrick citizens who you were appointed and elected respectfully to represent.
The petition website as well as the "Save the Depot" blog will forever remain in cyberspace and when someone goes to search for "Kendrick, Idaho" or "Kendrick Depot" - they will read about our efforts here to convince you to do what is right and in the best interest of ALL.
"Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set." - Proverbs 22:28
"Monuments immortalize our heroes, celebrate our accomplishments, and mourn our losses. Whether in a public park, private cemetery, or city square, these sculptures of stone and steel reflect the moral, cultural, and social makeup of their surroundings. Just as the Column of Trajan still stands in Rome and as the fall of the Soviet Union brought about the razing of hundreds of statues, some monuments stand as permanent testimony to the accomplishments of a nation or an individual while others topple at the swing of the pendulum that is public opinion." - Donald M. Reynolds, Author of "REMOVE NOT THE ANCIENT LANDMARK"
We sincerely hope that you will reconsider and SAVE THE DEPOT!
Thank you for your time and consideration regarding this very important and historically significant matter.

I am a lifelong resident of South Florida, which has a deplorable record of historic preservation. The few old buildings that remain here are "modernized" to appear current. Everything here is a monument to some vain developer's ego. Please do not repeat the mistakes made here. Honor those who came before you and made your community possible. Do not fall into the trap of being another "cookie cutter" community.

As a member of the stations historical orgaization, I hope to vist many of the stations throughout the US. The Kendrick station is of special interest to me because of the two story design. I do not want to get to the city and find an empty parking lot or a fast food bldg. Please perserve it for me to visit.

There is no such thing as a 'signature' NP station style, and yet this station is very unique in nature, and certainly functional for another purpose. Towns such as Kendrick are always sorry they let their stations go, sometimes even building a faux arts center in their place. In times like these, it isn't just imperative to hang on to familiar things that have further use - it makes more environmental sense.

There have already been so many towns that lost their historic structures, including depots, and regretted it. Why become another one on that list? Move the depot if you have to, but tearing it down is a mistake. Elected officials need to listen to the people who voted for them, or else they won't get re-elected!

I relation to points 6 and 8 of this petition please see the Lassen Land and Trails Trust in Susanville, CA. They are using the original SP depot in it's original location as a trail head for the Bizz Johnson Trail in Susanville. LLTT also rents out the building for small event needs and it also serves as a small museum for the history of Susanville and the RR as well.

I believe that the historical value of the depot by far outweighs any benefit that the two RV pads might even remotely have. For Gods sakes how are our children supposed to learn about our history if it has all been torn down ? This site should be turned over to the committee trying to preserve it and them given full permission to proceed with the restoration so that it may be listed as a historical landmark and be viewed by all who come to your beautiful town. Sincerly, Lynn & Nancy Hunter

Every year more and more of out country's history goes by the wayside as communities everywhere demolish another eyesore or something that they don't understand only to realize years later what they destroyed is not something that can be recovered. Don't be a part of that process. Save your one of a kind treasure.

My father was track maintenance roadmaster for the NP (and later BN) on the Palouse and Lewiston Branch track that ran through Kendrick from 1969 through the mid-1970's. I remember him talking about the Kendrick depot, and I would like to be able to go there and see it when I have time to travel. On a broader note, I understand that this building is one of the few surviving of it's type, and I think it would be a shame to lose this bit of history. The small Texas town I now live in had its Texas & Pacific train station torn down years ago (before I moved here) and trust me, it leaves a real hole in the town, almost like the town is missing a piece of it's soul. Other small towns around here that have retained and fixed up their depots seem to feel like they are complete, and I have noticed tend to be towns that people are more attracted to visit and even move to. Don't let Kendrick lose it's soul!

DO NOT allow an historic depot to disappear!!! Too many communities allowed there depots to be demolished and today wish that they didn't...many communities have even have to build brand new depots that replicate the original ones. Don't let that happen to you, you have an original depot and all you have to do to save it is say YES I WILL.

I am the former President of the Cascade Rail Foundation and we managed to save a historic depot that was so rotten that it would not catch fire when the kids tried to burn it down. Depots are incredibly important to a community. In most towns, they were the first architecturally designed structures and in other cases, all the streets are labeled or numbered by their proximity from the depot.

As America's railroad grew, so did America. Saving a small piece of American history, is a teaching tool for present and future Americans to learn from.

If you get rid of the depot there's no reason for tourists like me to come and spend money there. Please save the depot.

When I retire in a couple of years, I plan to travel extensively to railroad related sites. I have a special interest in old depots and related structures, and am considering writing a book or two on the subject. Being able to photograph, measure, and examine these buildings would be vital to their inclusion in a book.
