Pictures of the Potter Street Depot

 

This picture was taken in the hey day of the railroading industry. As you can see, there is a horse drawn street car in front of the depot.

The rails and brick paving still exist today, however they are covered by asphalt.

   

Here is a picture of the track side of the depot taken in 1894. This picture was found in the Sketch Portfolio of Bradford Lee Gilbert, Architect.
   

This is a picture of the track side of the depot, and was taken just prior to the April 16, 1991 arson fire.
   

This street side picture was taken just after the arson fire. The third floor and roof were severely damaged. However, the second floor suffered minor fire damage while the first floor only occurred water damage.
   

In the Winter of 1995, construction finally began after many delays.
   

 

This split staircase picture was taken just previous to the April 16, 1991 arson fire. It was found directly beneath the tower in the center of the building. The staircase stood even after the fire, however, just recently the tower fell straight inside the building destroying it and damaging surrounding areas.

   

This is one of many ticket windows on the first floor of the depot. This window is located in the Men's Waiting Room and was taken after the arson fire. Take note of the detail still present.
