Rock: (Satellite, this building has reused the land of the depot.)
The depot was a little south of 11th Avenue and east of the tracks. Thanks to the shadow, we can see that the king-post truss bridge in the right background of the photo was for 13th Avenue. That street no longer crosses the tracks.
