An IC company photographer took this photo of the IC's depot at LaSalle, IL, on June 10, 1915. The depot was in the process of being enlarged. The walls for the new addition appear to be about half completed. Meanwhile, part of the wall between the old and new parts of the depot has been taken down.
Despite the construction work, it appears the depot was still in daily use (note the baggage wagon in front of the depot).

Andy Zukowski posted Illinois Central Railroad Depot in LaSalle, Illinois. 1920’s [Note the water tower on the right.] John Richmond: What an off-beat design. All that glass. No bay window. Etc. But I've seen various IC depots that were not-your-average depot. |
