Has anyone ever seen a photo of this building? Having learned that the Frisco and the NOT&M shared standard depot designs, I wondered if this could be a model of it.

My parents drove often to Baton Rouge along US 190 and I saw this depot a good many times, although it was gone by the time I was 13. When I saw this kit, it really looked familiar, especially the flared roof, the windows on the waiting room end, and the cross braced baggage door.

On google maps satellite photos, the foundations appear to still be there. I could go there, trespass, and measure them.

It could have been this one too.
