Butch Getz	General	Did not know this one existed....thanks for the photos, and here is a bit more info:NEW BLOOMFIELD by Mary Emily Dozier In the 1884 History of Callaway County, New Bloomfield was listed as "a station on the Missouri Division of the Chicago and Alton Railroad, twelve miles southwest of Fulton. It was laid out in 1836 by Enoch Murry...population 100." In 1983, New Bloomfield is now approximately ten miles southwest of Fulton with the new State Highway 54 cutting down on the distance, and ten miles north of Jefferson City. Population is now 519. In the 100 years between, New Bloomfield has merged with the town of Ellerslie, the railroad was abandoned and the track removed in the early 1930's. The depot was moved to the east end of town and is still in use as a duplex, owned by T. N. Dozier and wife. A city park, with shelter house, tennis court, basketball court, and picnic area, now occupy the railroad right-of-way.	7/2/2014 8:20:59 PM

North side
This may be the old Alton/B&O depot, maybe not in the original location. This is the north side view, as you look south. At any rate, it sure looks like a former railroad depot to me. It's located on the east side of New Bloomfield, MO; about halfway between Fulton and Holts Summit. There are also photos of this structure on the http://missouridepots.com web site.
