| Description |
: |
IT 134 sets in the depot in this real
photo postcard. This is my personal
favorite of all my IT cards. "The Homer
Illinois Post card of the ITS Depot was
taken by Wilbur Tutor who had the
pharmacy across the street. He sold the
post cards at the pharmacy in Homer.
There are a few more like this one taken
at other times. Will did not typically
number his cards. The depot was built
in 1905 and became a gas station after
the interurban stopped running in July,
1928. It burned in December 1942."
