That was standard for the Q to put up a new depot and reuse the old generally wood depot as the freight depot Ottawa was moved across the tracks and south of Madison St. Princeton was moved west in what is now a parking lot Plano moved and has been preserved at the county park/farm between Oswego and Yorkville Earlville moved across the tracks The article in RMC on Q depots shows the old depot at Naperville before the present depot was built Those towns that did not get a new depot were up in arms and most had the depot rebuilt by cutting back the eaves and a new stucco finish with some getting brick below the windows. Most got new floors. IE starting like Lewistown and rebuilt like the old Buda Depot.

Of course I might also be completely wrong, so if anyone knows better feel free to speak up. Thank you kindly, Michael
