I'm building a model of the Colorado Midland/Midland Terminal station in Divide, CO. There are no pictures of the station from it's heyday. I'm wondering if the tin roof may have been correct as-built, or if it probably would have had some sort of shingles?

There is one photo here, taken before the addition. (Private residence conversion???) The depot appears to have a metal roof.
However, in a later photo, under Midland Terminal ownership, the roof appears to be shingles.

The photo in RT's link looks like raised seam tin roof. Very appropriate for that era.
Rusty, can't thank you enough for the pictures. I thought I had every resource available. Can't believe I missed those 2 photos, and I'm regularly on the Pikes Peak site... Somewhere there's one more picture of the station with a couple hopper cars, probably from the 1940's.
Have you tried reaching out to the Colorado Railroad Museum in your research? They have an extensive collection and just maybe there is a picture or architect's plan somewhere in the stacks.
