Jacobs Creek, PA: Lost/B&O Depot

(Satellite, it was in the backyard of the houses along Main Street. I can't determine exactly where.)

Just north of this town was some coal mining. The P&LE on the other side of the river is now a trail. This map did not help me locate the depot.

At first, I wasn't going to bother getting an aerial photo because the building is so small. There are two possibilities because there are two buildings along the track. Either way, it was in the backyard of the houses along Main Street. Note the laundry hanging out to dry behind the depot in the above photo.
