For a long time it was thought this somewhat fuzzy image was all that was left of the original San Antonio GH&SA depot built in 1877. It comes from a 1934 San Antonio Express article, ironically bemoaning the fact that there was nothing left at the site to mark its presence, which was coincided with a time of huge growth for the city.

The good news is that a search of the Witte Museum archive yielded another sharper image in December of 2005, well over three years after the search for the much desired image began.
