    As this is my first post, I want to say before anything else that this is a great site.

    Second, I am researching Frisco depots of the 1910s and 1920s that were constructed with flat roofs. In the Arkansas depot floor plans, I located the Osceola, AR depot. It says the structure was variously 26' to 37' wide by 173' long, constructed of tile and brick, with a flat composition roof.

    I have generally had good luck finding online photographs of the depots that fit my parameters, but I am stumped on this one. I thought perhaps it had not been built, but I found subsequent Blytheville. AR newspaper articles about burglaries at the Osceola depot.

    Any suggestions on where I could locate a photograph or two would be most appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Fred
