These two photographs show the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company depot in Chanute, Kansas. The first image shows a group of people gathered along the platform of the depot. In the background the Chanute Milling company is visible. The second photograph shows a group of Harvey Girls gathered in front of the depot. The two-story, red-brick building completed in 1903 is designed in the Richardsonian-Romanesque style and includes a passenger depot and Harvey House. In 1987, the building was placed on the Kansas Register of Historic Places. The structure currently houses the Osa and Martin Johnson Safari Museum and the Chanute Public Library.
