The info below is about the next pic (however this restaurant is now a bank)

Lehigh Valley Railroad passenger station, Ithaca, NY May 1992. Ithaca, with a population of about 30,000 had three rail passenger stations. At the time this picture was taken, almost 40 years after passenger service ended, all three were still in use. Two were restaurants, one a bus station.Scan from 35mm slide.
