Anyone Know what a Freight Station interior is like?

A small office, an even smaller water closet if it has indoor plumbing. (Think toilet and barely enough room to turn around) and a whole lot of empty space to store freight.

OK but what about the position of the Brick Chimney. Would there be a column of brick inside to a wood burning stove or a full blown fireplace? also would there be a "fenced in" area or a secure area as well?

A freight station wouldn't have a fireplace, too much of a chance for fire.  A pot-belly stove burning coal or wood in the office would suffice with the flue going up a brick chimney in this case.  The freight room may or may not be heated with it's own stove.

These small freight houses wouldn't be very sophisticated inside.  Anything needing to be secure would probably be locked in the office.

Found this drawing in the 8-89 Model Railroader of a larger free standing freight house:

Awesome! These pictures are inspiring! I love the SP where they "built up" the floor under the potbelly stove. I also like the picture way above that shows the brick chimney and how the pot belly stove connects into it! If anyone has more interior pics, esp any PRR ones, please post!

So far, no PRR...this Freight Office from the West Florida Railroad Museum, how it would have looked circa 1909.

Finally, found a Pennsy freight house (Pennsylvania Railroad Freight Terminal and Warehouse {Pittsburgh, Pa.}) probably not the size you are looking for and it is circa 1950...The 1700-foot long, 600,000 square foot Pennsylvania Railroad Company freight warehouses were located between Penn and Liberty Avenues and extended from 12th to 16th Streets in the Strip District section of Pittsburgh. The fireproof freight warehouses, designed by architects Larsen and Donnells, were constructed between March 1950 and March 1951, and consisted of one two-story and a one-story structure that contained 25 fire doors furnished by the Richard Wilcox Manufacturing Company. The general contractor on the project was the Trimble Company.
