The most noticeable modification was streamlining of the towers (compare below photo of the 1907 building), which now sport gable-end roof with flush side edge, and NO wide overhang. The 3 green window/door openings at left replaced the original two arched doors, which were at loading platform height. Amtrak's sign above the green door is the only hint it's a depot; it appears as merely a 400' long commercial building. The elaborate brick-capped parapets of the towers were eliminated, along with the elaborate sculptured ornamentation (Churrigueresque Architecture)
