I am attaching a plan that the owner of the depot supplied to me in order to do my research.
It seems that the more I discovered the less he wanted to know.
Anyway, my gratitude to him.
The plan poses a lot of questions so I will just cover sections at a time.
If the supposed first stage of the depot (office) was added before the second stage (rear extension), why are the eaves of the first extension not the same size not the same size on the North end as the remainder as of the depot? Second extension stage excluded. I have pointed out the eave in green.
Why would the rear of the second extension appear so much like the building next door to the D&RG station building were it was last positioned in Denver? Building on far right. I mean, how many buildings would you have to look at before you would find that likeness?

I would urge anyone with an interest in DSP&P history to buy the photo CD of Ken Smith. There must be almost a hundred photos of the depot alone. Invaluable as the depot is no longer the same.
Why would they make a brace on the corner of the North wall of the rear of the second extension and not the south side?
I can answer that one. Because they wanted to dress up the North wall a bit when it was moved away from the hotel.
Why the dogleg in the roof ridge? I can answer that one too.
Why the infill above the door which is the same hight of the top of the window in the corner of the second extension that has a window the same size as the depot windows?
I know the answer to these questions because I understood the questions.
The answer is often simply in understanding what the question is.
