Subjects include additions of stalls 1,2,3, and 4 in 1925. Remodeling of the General office building in 1951. Also an 1899 layout of H&StJo facilities. New BR depot in 1953-54. Also new CTC addition that was built in 1951 on the north side of the general office building. One blueprint that was strange to me was called a Washout plant built in 1928. It appeared to be a two story building with a large tank on both sides It was added to existing roundhouse on the northwest side of the RH. Any idea what this was ? It was gone by the late 50s. > __._,_.___
