Does anyone know the dates of construction for either of the attached images?

Thanks

The other depot.  I have 1893, but not sure it is right.

I think that run-through depot is much older than 1893. 
See attached images.

I believe this run-through depot was torn down in 1892, and replaced.
The replacement depot burned in 1902.
It was replaced by the depot you have in your double-set of pictures
(with the train and people on the left side of the photos); those photos are from 1914.
