PORT HOPE — A roundhouse farmers market, train museum and art gallery were among the ideas for a redesign on Lent Lane.
Loyalist College architectural technology students presented their ideas for the potential redevelopment of Lent Lane on April 12.
Students worked for one semester, from October to December, on the project. They incorporated the Little Station, which is on Hayward Street and council recently approved to move to Lent Lane.

The Little Station could be a small art gallery, said student Christine Madogo whose design also included a public building with large glass windows.
“I am someone who loves windows — bringing the outdoors in,” Madogo said.
Kaitlyn Draper went with a train theme throughout her design building on Lent Lane’s history as a former train stop. Draper included a roundhouse inspired building for a permanent spot for the farmers market. Roundhouses are places for train repair and servicing and during her research Draper found there was once one in Port Hope.
The Little Station would be a small museum in Draper’s design.
