Kirkwood New York Erie Railroad Station Depot 1906 Real Photo Postcard

The Kirkwood Station, prominently featured, likely refers to the historic depot in Kirkwood, Missouri, a city founded in 1853 as the first planned commuter suburb west of the Mississippi. The town's existence was inextricably linked to the Pacific Railroad (later Missouri Pacific), and its station served as a vital hub for passenger and freight services. The brick architecture of the station building suggests construction or significant renovation typical of late 19th or early 20th-century American railroad depots.
