Garibaldi Depot

Posted by
Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 25 June 2009 in Architecture.

Garibaldi is a busy fishing port on the Oregon coast. It also has a small park that demanded my attention. Garibaldi Depot, bulit in 1936, is one of the last one room depots built by the Southern Pacific Railroad.

Part of the Oregon Coast series.

My cancer has returned after almost a year of being symptom free. For the next few weeks, I have many doctor appointments and tests to determine and begin the advanced treatment best for my situation. My commenting will be intermittent at best.

The impressive engine and the one-room station make a fine picture. Good place to poke around and look for pictures. Nice shot of the place.

Giovanni from Milan, Italy

Stunning capture Steve! You probably don't know that Giuseppe Garibaldi was a very popular militar and political italian figure in the 19th century. He took part in the italian wars of indipendence and spent some time in the USA around 1850.

@Giovanni: Thank you for that piece of information. A quick check of Wikipedia confirms that the town is named after Mr. Garibaldi.
