Living in the Depot: The Two-Story Railroad Station (American Land and Life Series)

A photographic portrait of the two-story railroad station captures the social aspects of living in the depot and the architectural dimensions of depots in different areas of the country. At the heart of this excellent book are the striking and rare postcards that provide a comprehensive visual review of this popular building type from coast to coast. Over 150 illustrations feature the gingerbread structures of the Northeast, the simple buildings of the Gold Rush West, and the mission-style stations of the Southwest in this first book to concentrate on this overlooked aspect of railroad history.
