San Diego's California Southern rr depot was an example of Victorian Queen Anne architecture with a single central tower. Note the year 1887 on the tower's sides and a unique symbol within the dormers, which protrude from the four sides of the steep-pitched pyramid-shaped roof. The building has three parallel sections, each of which having track/street side protrusions, in a bay-window style - either with windows or distinctively decorated walls? Three triangle-shaped parapets face track and street sides. Displayed within those are a cross, resembling AT&SF's later well-known blue cross in a circle logo. The corners of the six bay-window fronts each form a square column topped with small domes. [http://www.sohosandiego.org/lostsd/santa_fe.htm]
