Description

In the left foreground is the original wooden Sebastopol depot station. The Powerhouse was later named the Hogan Building. Photo facing south easterly, with north and westerly facades visible.. The train tracks seen in the easterly direction comprise the present day (2009) Joe Rodota Trail.
