Bill Edrington: This is the IC depot. It shares some architectural features with the preserved former Chicago & Alton/GM&O depot at Pekin, which makes sense, because both were built by the St. Louis, Peoria & Northern. The StLP&N went broke and was broken in two; the C&A acquired the portion north of Springfield and the IC acquired the portion south of Springfield in 1899.

For what it's worth, the IC Glen Carbon "depot" in June 66

It looks like IC had cut back its depot before 1941! The depot looks rather small in this aerial.
