The prototype was built to replace an earlier wooden structure. Whitehall was built as a combination depot; inside its Flemish Bond brick walls it housed a central ticket counter and operator's bay, separate men's and women's waiting rooms and a freight room. Large arched windows let in plenty of light and an angled operator's bay afforded the agent\/operator a good view down the tracks. A long canopy extending along the platform on both ends kept passengers sheltered while boarding. The freight room handled parcels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe depot served travelers until 1949, but remained an active freight agency until 1963. The City of Whitehall purchased the depot in 2003 and restored it as a small museum. The structure remains in its original location along the former GB\u0026amp;W mainline, in 2006 owned by Canadian National. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Cornerstone Series kit will look great serving trains with Walthers streamlined or heavyweight cars. Parts come molded in appropriate colors; the prototype was built from red brick. For setting your scene, the freight doors can be positioned open or closed so you can add a baggage cart or cargo being transferred between the freight room and the platform.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDownload the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dealers.walthers.com\/instructions\/0933\/09330000002932.pdf\"\u003eInstruction Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e (4100 K bytes, PDF format)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walthers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723121000727,"sku":"933-2932","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/5923\/4839\/files\/933-2932.gif?v=1772052992","url":"https:\/\/reeds-hobbies.com\/products\/933-2932-walthers-ho-whitehall-station-kit","provider":"Reed's Hobby Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
