History: The depot was used for passengers and freight in and out of Bement. At the time it ran from Danville, IL to Hannibal, Mo. The left portion of the building was used to generate power for the electric train. The generators inside and the large transformers were located on a concrete platform on the west end of the building; or left side of the picture. There was a generator room, a freight room and a ticket window with a passenger waiting area. All of the building is masonry red brick, 12 inches thick, 3 brick width. It has a 5 inch thick concrete roof (that has had spray on roof coating restoration done in years past) with 14 inch beam support.
