I haven't neglected the birdhouse. I included it (complete with its own chimney) on the chimney of the addition on an O scale model of the depot that I built about 30 years ago. The model was originally built for Mike Trent's layout when he was in Boulder, but has changed hands a few times (I think Darel Leedy had it last I knew). I'm not sure if the bird house survived all the moves.
I assume that this bird house was used to cover the flue of the chimney when the little addition was converted from occupied space (telegrapher's office?) to unheated storage. Here's what it looked like in 1946 (I think that this photo was taken by Morris W. Abbott):
