(rshsdepot) Any report on preserved La Plata, Md. PRR depot after tornado?

The diminutive PRR depot in La Plata, Md., recently moved across the 
tracks (PRR Popes Creek branch) and restored in preparation for reuse by 
a local historical group, is mere yards away from the heart of town--a 
town devastated by Maryland's most powerful recorded tornado.  The 
tornado apparently swept through the center of town.

To date, I have been unable to ascertain whether the depot survived the 
destruction.  Has anyone managed to get hard information on the depot 
and whether it survived?
