Is this the building you had in mind? https://maps.app.goo.gl/JcRkybRzpAF6pxfq9 It doesn't look like the RI depot. Perhaps it was the Minneapolis & St. Louis depot. |
Was the RI depot the rectangle that is a little east of 3rd Street? And the RI passengers had to cross the M&StL tracks to get to their train?
