Locust Ave. depot dated "1900." Emery states this depot was the original SSRR building and was replaced in 1898. As this depot appears to be a different structure than what replaced it, I'd assume the photo was actually shot in 1898. It's hard to make out, but the station sign above the trackside door and windows reads "LOCUST AVE." There was obviously no agency in this structure. The image appears to be looking SE, with the depot at the SW quadrant of Locust Ave. The replacement (1898) Locust Manor depot was at the NW quadrant of Locust Ave. The photographer was a William Murray and the woman in the image is his wife (no name provided).
