Paris, TN: 1893 Lost/L&N/NC&StL Depot and Roundhouse

Depot: (Satellite, those buildings are on the footprint of the depot.)
Roundhouse: (Satellite)

A 1957 aerial photo clearly shows the depot in the northeast quadrant of the tracks and Depot St. Unfortunately, that photo is copyrighted.

Paris, Tennessee: Roundhouse, Louisville & Nashville Railroad. I was hoping that the Notes would have some detail about the visually-obvious older/newer portions of L&N’s Roundhouse at Paris, and the structure’s transition from a 4-stall to a 14-stall Roundhouse. In this case, the only hint about this is given in the index, which states that the newer 10 stalls were added in 1911. The photograph was taken on 14 February 1918.

Andrew Waldo posted two photos with the comment:
Paris, Tennessee: Passenger Station and Freight Station, Louisville & Nashville Railroad. Were my purposes otherwise, I would combine these two images into one panoramic view to the L&N’s Passenger and Freight layouts at Paris, both of them very nice views of an economically active and central location in what appears to be a bustling community. The Passenger Station was estimated built in 1893 and the Freight Station in 1909. The photographs were taken on 13 February 1918.

Mark Stoeckel: Was that originally NC&StL depot?
