A red brick depot with a green gabled dormer stands out from the plainer wooden stations common along many American lines, since its bright roof trim and brickwork suggest a builder who wanted the station to look substantial and inviting. Depots like this were usually the busiest civic spaces in small towns. They housed the ticket window, the freight room, and often the telegraph key, so the station served as the town's link to mail, news, and travelers. The dormer, a small window set into a steep roof, would have let light into an upper floor, which in many stations held the agent's living quarters. Details like these help show how railroads shaped the look of the communities they served.
