Above and Below: Views of the waiting room.

The waiting room is where passengers purchased tickets, the traveler(s) - and perhaps some relatives and friends - waited for trains, and other patrons needing the services offered at the depot waited at the ticket window for an employee to assist them. 

The room was simply furnished, with benches against the walls and a stove in the center for heat when needed.  "Air conditioning" consisted of opening the windows and hoping for a cool breeze!

A bulletin board, like the one pictured, would have had the latest announcements from the railroad, along with any pertinent changes to the rules and regulations regarding passengers, baggage, parcels, and related items.

A rack containing travel brochures would have been present also.
