[CBQ] Old frt House @ Naperville

[Gerald Edgar <vje68@hotmail.com>]

Richard Kistler asked me to pose this to the group: 
 
 Recently received a1912 era postcard view of Naperville showing the new (1910) 
brick depot on the south side of the two track main, on the north side is an 
old one story frame depot. The photo for August in the 1994 BRHS calendar by 
Mel Finzer, shows Naperville in 1962. North of the three track main is what 
appears to be a one story freight house of about the same size and style as the 
old depot on the north side, could that be the case (a conversion)? If so I 
wonder when that conversion was made, and also when were the canopies built? 
The subway and shelters were built in 1930, but was there something there 
before that for commuters? Hopefully they didn't have to try and cross the 
tracks.
 
NOTE:  I can think of several locations where the Q converted a former depot to 
a frt house after constructing a new depot.
