I have a photocopy of a drawing dated July 16, 1926 (from the CB&Q
'Engineer of Buildings') It indicates the Fulton, IL passenger station
was built in 1911.
Foundation: Concrete
Exterior finish: brick veneer, stone trim
Roof: metal shingles
Hot water heating; 6 radiators
exterior dimensions: 52' x 20'
Hope this helps! -Don
