Re: (rshsdepot) Depot Architecture

["James Kelling" <james.kelling_@_nara.gov>]

The Italianate style was still very popular in the US around 1900, so
different architects may have designed similar-looking stations.  Local
newspapers in Waco from 1905-06 (possibly available on microfilm) are
probably the best place to look for the architect's name.
