Stafford KS Santa Fe Depot
Author: d500

It was recently reported that the Santa Fe Depot in Stafford Kansas was in the initial process of being razed (windows removed & asbestos abatement) when a temporary reprieve was granted.  Do any TO members have an update on the depot's status?  Photos posted from Kansas locals would be appreciated.  Thanks

Went by a couple of nights ago. Still standing, but the windows have been removed. It was dark and that was about all I could see.

Thanks for the old photos.  Also I appreciate the information obtained with the night drive-by verifying that the depot is still holding on.

A friend of mine took photos of each side of the depot a few days ago.  Windows definitely out. Some dismanteling of the roof apparently.  Structure was reported several years ago to be in bad shape.

Why would they raise it higher?

That's too bad.  If the interested parties do manage to save it, those complex windows and glazed green tile roofing are going to be expensive to replace.
