Northern Pacific Depot, Wallace, Idaho
Wallace is a marvelous town, a former lumbering and mining town and a bare survivor of the Big Burn of 1910. A third of the town was reduced to ash and slag in that incredible 3-state wildfire, but so far as I know all of the residents made it out safely out thanks to fearless black troopers, Buffalo Soldiers from the 25th Infantry and the brave crews of lumber trains from the Milwaukee and Great Northern roads who hauled the populace to uncertain safety in railroad tunnels (there was some fear they’d all suffocate).
