From the look of the cars and the flags I would bet on some time about the end of WW I to the mid 20's, maybe a July 4 celebration or end of war.

Kirby - Unfortunately, I do not have an image of the Cedar Bluffs, KS, depot, but I'm attaching one of the first train into St. Francis, KS, dated July 8, 1888 and one of the St. Francis depot that's undated.  I think it's safe to say that all the depots on the St. Francis Branch were of similar construction.

The windows and doors are a match for those of the other depots on the branch, and the stamped metal shingles look like the originals, but this appears to be only a portion, perhaps half, of the total depot.  See the restored Atwood depot below.

I have 2 photos from 1987 that are supposed to be the original Q depot at Cedar Bluffs, KS on the old St. Francis Branch. After the Depot closed the building was moved to the George Minor farm. These photos were taken at the farm.

Can any of you tell me if this building looks like it might have been a Q Depot?
