Beer Depots Sanborn Map Detail

This view is from the 1893 map.  The track is owned by the Mineral Range when it was still a three foot gauge common carrier. 

This view is from the 1897 map.  The most notable change is the removal of the track.  This was the time period when the MR converted to standard gauge so they may have pulled the spur.  Of course it is possible that it still existed and was not shown.  There are changes to the depots and/or this map shows more specific details associated with the buildings.  According to the key the building sections with the large "X" are stables.

I have chosen to combine data from both maps to build the models.  The Miller depot is based upon the 1893 building.  The Blatz depot did not change between maps.  I am building the Schlitz depot based upon the 1897 map configuration.  My plan is to build the Pabst depot based upon the 1897 as well. The configuration with a bottling works in the middle section and stable on the end should make a neat model.
