1978 Survey - BRACKETS UNDER EAVES. KING POST TRUSS IN GABLE. Photo code is: KEH-0/34.

2007 Survey - Building appears unchanged since 1978 survey. RR tracks have been removed. Property includes 4 modern metal grain bins, modern front gable metal shed, and a c.1940 side gable barn.

This one-story cream brick railroad depot has a gable roof covered with asphalt shingles. The windows are replacement one-over-one, double-hung, or enclosed with wood; however the original arched brick lintels and fenestration are intact. A historic red brick shed roof addition is located on the northeast elevation. The original bay window remains intact on the track side (northwest elevation). An arched doorway, located to the right of the bay window, leads to a small wooden platform.

A Historic Structure Report of this building can be found in Room 312 at the Wisconsin Historical Society.
