Lenny,
 
Not sure if the KENDALL COUNTY RECORD has a web site but a good history of  
this original depot is in the article on pg 13 this week.
Briefly using other research I've done and bits from this article Here a  
quick summary. The depot was built in 1853/54 shortly after the Chicago and  
Aurora built from Aurora to Mendota with service between the two points  
completed on October 20,1853 per Overtons book (Burlington Route). The reason  
the depot doesn't look like a std Q one is was built by the C&A. Similar to  
why the old CB&N depots didnt look like Q depots.
In 1942 the current owners grandfather bought the depot from his employer(  
the Q). In 1943 it was moved by teams of horses and what is described as a 
giant  turntable to its current location. Prior to the move the frt house 
portion was  cut off and its disposition isnt discussed. The family has owned 
the home/depot  for 3 generations. The depot you reference was the 
replacement. Of course it  sure didnt look like a Q depot either !
 
The Record will be in all the local stores until next Weds.
