Note from T. J. Gaffney, Curator at the Port
Huron Museum: I have never been able to prove this, but I
sincerely believe that ST&H had a separate depot from PH&NW/F&PM at Bad
Axe. This depot resembles the PH&NW standard design for a FULL
size depot, which still exists in the form of Harbor Beach and Croswell
(well, the freight room side anyway). The PH&NW also had a depot
roughly 1/2-3/4 of this size, surviving examples being Deckerville,
Mayville, Palms, and MacGregor. The stone depot that survives at
Bad Axe today was the ST&H depot.
