Dick....yes you are!

Very good shots of the fixture there at Silverton. You can even see the "knob&tube" penetrations in the wall behind where the drop wires went inside,

Hmmmm...Lessee, D&RG had two wires, No. 1 and WU No. 108 that ended there at SV Silverton...

Wonder if the SN or SG&N had any wires that went anywhere? I suppose the WU wire could have looped into town somewhere, but I dunno....

Note the two brackets on the eave brace to the right of the second photo... wires could indeed have looped or extended beyond the depot proper.

Anyway, thanks for posting! I hope whoever keeps the Silverton Depot up recognizes that artifact for what it is and keeps it preserved...It looks almost still useable as is!
