Kenosha Pass railroad station still survives?

Not long ago I got a booklet called "Bits and Pieces of History Along the 285 Corridor" by Harold Warren. In it I found the following:
"The depot that once stood at the top of Kenosha Pass was moved to Grant and is now a part of the bar at the Platte River Inn. A quick look at the back side of the building will show you the eaves of the depot peeking out from under all the additions that have been tacked on since that time."
Has anyone here ever found this moved depot? Any photos? I'd never heard of this.

Below is an image I found of the Platte River Inn online.
