The Y&MV depot built at Stephenson about 1921 is seen in this view looking southeast. 

The original depot at Stephenson was probably built about 1917 when the Foster Creek Lumber & Mfg. Co. sawmill was constructed. This depot was replaced by the much larger depot shown in other photos about 1921. This old depot was then moved across the street and used as a post office.
