[or-roots] 1930 Pendleton Train Depot do word pictures count?

[Leslie Chapman]

I suppose you are looking for a 1930's picture? As near as I can gather it
is still there?

not much of a picture, I think what you should do if you really want to get
lucky is go to

I think what you need to do is contact a nearby model railroading
organization, here is a web site for Denver;

http://ra.nilenet.com/~wlg/denverhoclub/club.htm

and throw yourself on the mercy of the membership, someone there may have
what you are looking for, or know someone, i guarantee you will get help,
and am pretty sure someone will be able to get you a photo.

Description of the Depot

The Pendleton depot is a red brick building laid in flemish bond. Decorative
bands of header and stretcher courses form the sides and lintels of the
doors and windows; a belt course runs around the building at the window sill
level. Shallow pilasters define each corner and divide paired win- dows.
Walls are stepped out just above ground level.

The hip roof is decorated with small gables at each end of the ridge.
Typical of depots from the period, the roof has a double pitch and canopy.
Red pipe designed to look like terra cotta tile covers the roof. Corbeled
wood brackets support wide overhanging eaves to protect passengers, baggage
and railroad workers from the weather.

The building is rectangular with its long axis parallel to the tracks. The
operator's bay extends outward along the track side facade giving the
operator or agent an unobstructed view and access to the tracks to signal
passing trains.

Most of the original sixteen- over-one, double-hung windows, paired doors
and multi-paned transom windows survive. Several ventilators, vent pipes and
an electrical service ent- rance pole have been added to the roof, but in a
careful manner that does not detract from the building's appearance.
Although the exterior is largely intact, changes have occurred. These are:

a doorway restyled into a window using a different color brick;
doorways bricked in and replaced with smaller, modem doors;
a brick and block enclosure wall at the back of the building;
an open-roofed loading dock on the northeast comer; and
a large fan installed on the west wall
The 4,600 square foot depot is typical of small stations in layout and
function. The passenger waiting room, which is nearly square with exterior
doors on three sides, is located on the east end of the building. In later
years, rest rooms were installed on either side of the east end door. The
agent's office and ticket window are in the center of the building. The
'heating plant and freight room are on the west side of the depot.
Originally used for mail, packages and building utilities, the freight room
more recently housed a railroad signal department repair shop.

The building is often referred to as Mission Revival, although the only
common characteristic of this style found on the depot is the red tile roof.
The wood brackets under the eaves are features often found on Arts and
Crafts buildings. The massing of the building and detailing on the brick
walls are Romanesque, a common architectural style in late 19th century
railroad depot design. The depot is typical in design and layout of railroad
depots constructed during this period and, even with alterations, retains
sufficient integrity to convey historical and architectural associations. It
was a good candidate for adaptive use

Does anyone know where I can find a picture of the Pendleton Train Depot
around 1928-1930?  I have not had great luck googling?
