 Okay, now let's move forward and address a "Phenomena."
I have drawn a red line that intersects two roof tops which is in line with the corner of KP station.

 They appear to be beyond the D&RG station which would be positioned at the time the photo was taken, South West of 19th and Wynkoop Streets.


 In this greater photo, (Please follow link), the freight building invasion once again. But there are no two other buildings that might line up to appear in line from the corner of the KP that align.
 But anyway, we know that the D&RG station and freight depot were behind the telegraph line along 19th street.


 And we are established that the Ben Delaney building was on the corner of 19th and facing Wynkoop St. (Longer than it was wide.)

This is what throws me. Chris has pointed out that the D&RG Freight building and station are here North East of the Ben Delaney building.
 

 I am not dismissing it Chris. You have shown a map that positioned 'depots' in this area. 1883 according to the city directory.

maybe these depot and station were just moved along to the South West corner afterwards? It is nothing more or less than I have suggested, that is sliding the D&RG station or part of, in-between the Ben Delaney building and the building next door, both of which I say were moved to Como.
 I say, it would be easier to do this than sending the carpenters team to build new buildings with a pack of wood and their hammer, hand saw, chisel, and plane.

 But Chris,
 I am interested. Do you know the date this last photo was taken? Or have any other detail? 1883 would be the key.

Mr. Droste,  
there is no "Phenomena."  ......
Go back and read this Post http://c-sng-discussion-forum.254.s1.nabble.com/Here-is-location-of-1st-Como-Depot-tp18859p18946.html 
might just show you...... your line of sight.......is a little off.

Maybe I show you that again, just for good measure; kinda like re-reading my Train Orders, to be sure, for sure!


Also: I go the little extra and insert the DPL call number into the Image portion I crop; so just how do you connect an 1883 City Directory with the 1878 Map?

Okay Chris,
I think I understand the problems now, Thank you.

I made the mistake of drawing my red line from the 'DP & KP freight house'? instead of the KP Station.

And you think the correct line of sight is across the Denver Pacific Depot that does not have any trees around it at all to the Building with the TOB?
 That also does not appear to have trees either end incidentally.



And you think that the trees that were located behind the row of buildings behind the D&RG freight depot & station, (South West Wynkoop & 19th streets) shrunk and snuck around to take root again on Wynkoop Street, no higher than the actual buildings they were in front of but much higher when they were around the back?

 Do pardon me.

Have I got that now?

If there are Coal Cars on a Siding, out front of the Building.........

Maybe that would indicate ..........

I believe everybody understands the cruces of my discussion and therefore I no longer feel any onus to explain further.
Thank you for your help and interest,
John

And here I thought that was the "train order board" building
