PARIS TEXAS & PACIFIC DEPOT IN PARIS, TX
The depot on the track side faces south and is oriented along the east-west T&Pac mainline. (The other depot in town is oriented along the N-S Frisco-Santa Fe mainline.) It is both Italianate and Prairie House architectural styles. Italianate often has a tower hinting at Italian campanile tower, at which this depot hints with the strange, multi-pitched roof - a hipped dormer with a gable end - topping the station master's bay windows. Both styles feature low-pitched roof often hipped and with broad overhanging eave, in which the Italianate is supported with brackets. This roof is a Gablet (Dutch-hip) with small gables in the hipped ends.
