I clearly understand the location of the D&RG passenger, freight station was at one time located at 19th and Wynkoop.

However, my question was directed at the photo you posted of a structure and indicated it was D&RG depot.
The location of that particular photo, to me, does not appear to be 19th and Wynkoop.

You also posted a "train order board" photo you identify as D&RG depot at 19th and Wynkoop.  I believe that is not the case.

The D&RG was sole owner of trackage leading to 19th street from the west.
East of 19th street trackage operation was joint.

In viewing the full image of "train order board" that structure appears to be east of 20th street, northeast corner.  I do not see a
train order board.
In the lower right corner of the view, narrow gauge flat cars are visible just west of 19th street. The narrow gauge tracks
continue to 20th street at which point trackage becomes 3 rail for certain tracks.
Also, in the lower right corner it can be noted that the KP standard gauge tracks do not cross 19th street.

As a result I do not believe the D&RG depot is visible in either photo.
