Hopewell VA Station Question

Howdy Folks

In the continuing saga of data research....

I have the Society's drawings for the station dated 1915.  In the book 
_Virginia Railway Depots_, they show a photo of a totally different 
station. The text says the original depot burned down in 1914 and a new 
one was built in two weeks.  The 1915 drawings show a very simple 
structure that could have been built quickly.

Now the questions...

Is the depot shown in that book from before the fire?

Or is the photo showing a larger depot that was built sometime after the 
1915 version?


Greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks
Bill
