TO ERECT STATION
Unofficial Reports Declare
Structure Will be Best
of Kind in Country.
A FOUR-STORY administration building depot and will be erected by the Sand Springs Railway company at the corner of Main and Archer streets within the near future, according to unofficial information which is considered authentic here. Although no confirmation has been made it is said that the officials of the road intend to erect the finest interurban station in the southwest.
The building will be upon the present site of the downtown station. The substantial structure which now serves the purpose of depot and office building will be torn down to make way for the edifice. The building to be demolished is a two-story affair and in good condition.
The proposed depot, however, will be constructed especially to meet the demands of the interurban business. The entire lower floor will be appropriated for waiting rooms. Entrance will be made from both Main and Archer street.
The three upper floors will be used for the general offices of the railroad. It is possible that the Sand Springs Electric company also will occupy part of the building. This company furnishes electricity which propels the interurban cars.
The depot will be of the best construction and will be an asset to North Main street. The fact that a substantial structure is to be demolished to make way for the new one is proof that an unusual depot is planned.
