Has anyone actually seen a photo, drawings or sketch of the depot at Reeds Spring (no longer exists). I’ve scoured the resources I have with no luck. I assume it is similar to other White River Line depots, like Crane and Galena: low wooden structure with combo freight and passenger waiting area on either side of the bay window. But would like some verification. Thanks in advance for any info.

For anyone interested, I’ve continued to search and stumbled across the attachment. Not the best angle, but it shows the building is similar to other wooden station structures on the White River Division, but the roof is completely a hip roof, without the end gables found on other depots like Crane and Galena. From the automobile in the photo I would guess this was late 1940s or early 1950s.

Although this is a start, I’m still looking for more photos or drawings that would provide some dimensions that could be used to generate a model. I would appreciate anything anyone could find.
