Jeff, Thank you but the photo although good, is not good enough.
Years ago now, I was able to download the image file of the Hotel and bring up the North wall of the depot in detail. Above the fence and looking through the veranda fretwork could be seen the glazing bars on one of the depot windows. Thats how good the image came up. But it was not that which interested me, it was the wall which clearly was covered in timber shingles or tiles, same as is on the depot roof today.
I wanted everyone to get a good look at that because I wish to discuss the fact that it was tiled with the overall history of the depot in relation to the hotel. I am still a little confused about this for I seem to have some conflicting thoughts which I need to sort out in my mind. I might just lay the cards on the table and others may help piece it together.
The photo below is the only other picture of the north wall showing the tiles before they were replaced with clap board that I know of. And amazingly, this is already C&S days.
Would still like to know how I was able to bring up such a good image in the past and not now. I have switched to a Mac, maybe thats the difference.
Thanks again.
