Pictures 11B-4 and 11B-5.
These two postcards show the ITS depot and its next-door neighbor, the
Inman Hotel, on University Ave. in Champaign between Walnut and Market
Streets. Both pictures show the alley between the buildings, which
had sidings for the interurban cars. In the upper picture, we see
a self-propelled freight car. The lower shows a local car waiting
for passengers to board. The depot was constructed in 1913 on the
site of an old mill. For the preceding several years, ITS had used
the site as a freight depot. — C. T. Photochrom (upper)
