It strongly resembles Bonair, Arkansas (page 119 in the Iron Mountain book) but the freight door doesn’t match. MP/IM apparently didn’t stay with the ‘V’ type bay window design very long as there aren’t many photos around of this type.

I might be wrong but rather than scratch built I think this is one of Bill Hoss’ LJM kits that never reached production. The clue is the laser cut windows and trim pieces. This is obviously not to take away from Joe’s master building as he did scratch build a lot of brass locomotives, freight cars and structures.
