(rshsdepot) Questions on 2 Utah depots ...

I'm looking for historic information and (ideally) photographs of the  
UP depots at Lund and Black Rock, Utah, two tiny towns on the LA&SL  
route.  Both buildings were constructed in the 1920s and demolished  
about 1970, and both were unusual in that they were custom-plan  
structures designed by the noted architect Gilbert Stanley  
Underwood.  (Having a large depot in Lund made some sense, since it  
was the jumping-off point for railroad-operated tours of southern  
Utah's national parks ... but for the life of me I can't figure out  
why the UP would spring for an architect-designed building in a  
remote place like Black Rock.)

I remember both stations from my youth in that part of the world, but  
the only photo I've seen is a shot in Signor's LA&SL book showing a  
small corner of the Lund depot.

Many thanks for any leads that anyone can provide ... I know this is  
a pretty long shot.
