More Information on the Windows

I am fortunate that the restored SP Type 18 Depot at Danville is only 8.6 miles away. I have recently taken pictures of the windows which are identical to the ones in the Walnut Creek Depot. Both were built by the same contractor in 1890-1891 at the same time or within a few months of each other. The Danville station is the mirror image of the Walnut Creek station. Walnut Creek's freight house is on the left of the depot facing the station from the track.  Danville's is on the right.

Note that the Southern Pacific referred to the side by the tracks as the "Platform Side" and the other side of the depot and freight house were called the "Team Side".
