I have pictures of the west side and north end, which I am starting construction of, but I have no pictures or information on the east side and south end. I need information on windows, personnel and freight doors, and the platform layout. Also was the south end roof hip like the north end, or gable, and was there a bumpout to the east side like the operator's windows on the west? Any help at all would be appreciated. jc5729 John Colley, Port Townsend, WA
Have you tried the California Railroad Museum? They have an awful lot of info and might have both photos and architectural drawings of the station.

John I'm doing a book on the WP depots. Have some photographs on Bieber but they are all from trackside. Yes the roof was a hip on both ends..
I tried the GN group for photos but got no replies... I'll look through my collection and see if there is anything I have forgot. The south nend has 3 windows, the two are on the outside, about a foot from the edge. The other is centered. Matches the north end.
