For many years, this site retained the simple station sign marking San Juan. About 15 years ago, the sign and the post disappeared. Tall grasses covered this spot until a recent mowing. The concrete base likely supported a large train order signal.
The building originally supported fruit and vegetable packing. At some point, a moulding company that specialized in custom doors modified the original building for wood workings. Today, there is little activity and no need for rail service.
