Hunting for Auction Treasures Inside an Old Erie Building: The Last Word
I went to a huge community yard sale two years ago. I was curious about what kinds of items I could find there. Today, my curiosity is aroused again. I'm at the Rapid Transit Building at 1304 Sassafras Street in Erie. There's a lot of interesting stuff inside that's going to be auctioned. This structure was built in 1905 to help move freight in and out of Erie. In its heyday, freight would arrive by train. The cargo would be unloaded off a train on one side of the building and sent out by truck on the other side. Bob Mang owned the Rapid Transit Freight Company until his retirement a couple of months ago. His parents owned it before him. Bob's worked in this building for over 50 years.
