IIRC, after the RGS was torn up Randy Belisle (station agent) and his wife Vera (postmistress) continued to live in the depot until it was torn down in the mid-60s when the hiway was widened and paved. Vera was still living in Telluride during my time there in 1972-73. I vaguely remember talking to her, but do not have any notes regarding what she could recall about the interior of the depot.
