This may help.
The location of the depot is in the space of where the Dispatcher's quarters were eventually built to the far right in this map which identifies Broadway street and it's intersection which shows in the next photo.




Following the mainline through, it appears then that the depot was removed for the construction of more tracks West side of the Mainline.

Regardless, I still believe that A depot was built south side of the Engine House tank in this common sense level area.
Perhaps the depot located West side of the track was relocated there.


 I attach a page from the B,B&S book. Look at the size of the Oil House platform.!! Oil House, Item 6. Depot item 1.
Only just a little smaller than the current depot platform. And yet to my knowledge, that Oil House was never located although logic would have it close to the Engine House. At least Mike Blazek could not locate the Oil House or its platform.
