Iron Mountain's new Chicago and North-Western Railway Depot

Iron Mountain’s new Chicago and North-Western Railway Depot, located on the west side of the 300 block of South Stephenson Avenue (now Stevens Decorating), was opened to the public Sunday, December 22, 1889. A flagman’s house at the Hughitt Street crossing is in the foreground and a similar building toward the center of the photograph served as a shelter for policemen. Farther down the street on the same side is the original sandstone building that first housed the Cornish Pumping Engine. The sandstone water tank with its dome can be seen on the horizon and at the extreme left is a corner of the Fisher Block, built in 1891, which originally housed the Commercial Bank. "Iron Mountain" is printed on the photograph.
