An undated postcard view of the depot.
Check out the depot sign - Green Bay 76 miles Winona 138 miles. There
is a Wells, Fargo & Co. Express sign on front corner of the depot and
another Wells, Fargo,& Co. Express sign on front between baggage
doors. I think the small building visible on far side is an outhouse.
Why such a large depot?
Besides an ample passenger section, the freight end is large enough
to have two doors. And the
building is two stories tall!
A second depot was built n 1912 and was retired from service in 1957,
making it one of the last depots in use on the railroad. |
