Despite plenty of broken windows, the depot is in very good condition. A few years ago, there was a sign on it, advertising a future winery, and it was boarded up. Today, the boards are gone, and the depot is wide open. There is no indication as to whether the winery candidate still owns the depot. This benchmark could be on the endangered list.
There is nothing to suggest a "white entrance," so presumably, there was a sign indicating as such on the entry on the south side of the depot, near the west end. The benchmark is otherwise in excellent condition.
