As I recall during the mid 1950's, there was a small combination coal and ice house on the west side of the depot tracks between the former location of the big ice house and the roundhouse.
I believe this was used for the cabooses and parlor cars. I remember it because it was a very unusual structure, kind of an outside framed coal bin with a giant Ice chest attached. (which is probably what it was) I'll see if I can find a photo.
