Railroad Depot

 

Blair Railroad Depot, c. 1909
East end of 1880 (wooden) depot with a crowd of students.
Caption reads:  "In 1909, when Reed O'Hanlon, Winfield Ross and Erwin Miles won a state debating tournament, school was dismissed so students could meet the train.  Nearly every teen-ager in town was at the station, but the modest champions failed to show up."
