Southern Pacific Depot Reconstruction
SP depot, probably around 1973 prior to the renovation.
Looking West No Trespassing signs are posted on the building. Most
of the freight depot is gone in this picture, replaced by a loading ramp. The tracks are
still in place. The signal wire pole is still in place, and what
may be track can be seen between the depot and the pickup truck.
The
buildings on the right side are on the other side of the tracks, but still south
of Railroad Ave (now a parking lot area). Sign reads "Livermore Builders
Supply Co" (see
additional photo). "Pabco Paint" is on the sign on the left side of the middle of
the three. The far corner of the left most of these three buildings would
now be the corner of L St. and Railroad Ave.
SP depot during renovation,
probably around 1973.
The north side of the Depot during reconstruction. The west
side window is was made into a door. A staircase now goes up the side.
Following reconstruction. The portion to the right was
added as a kitchen for a restaurant that was operated in the reconstructed
depot.
