Can someone advise when the brick depot at Bainbridge was constructed? Here are two shots from 1924 and it looks like it is a new building. Chuck Smith Collection, taken by his Father Ken Smith.

Around WWI. (Wheeler would know for sure).
Attached is a picture from 1918 - looks like the depot in the left distance,
with the smoke coming out of the chimney.

The CI&L Annual Report for the year 1913 references the construction of a new brick station at Bainbridge.

Thanks Steve. I just found the 2004 Tour Guide and Bob Wheeler has 1912 listed as the construction date. In the pictures I originally posted, it struck me as funny there are no baggage carts. Also it looks like the structure is empty. Thanks for the info.

Since the 1913 Annual Report covers the period from 6/30/12 to 6/30/13 it is entirely possible the station was actually completed during the last half of 1912.

Here is a picture of an older Bainbridge depot, in 1910. Sorry this is the best version of this pic that I have - anyone have a better version? Is this essentially the same depot model that was at Creston and other locations?
