Opened in 1928 it saw use until 1971 when passenger service ended. First preserved as a small museum, it's now a coffee shop. The door on the right was the "colored" entrance because segregation was here until the mid 1960's, within my lifetime, because white privilege meant not mingling while waiting for the train.

fun fact about your ol pal pro_junior...
I too am old enough to remember seeing drinking fountains labeled 'white' and 'colored'..
we were visiting someone in Texas and we were at some sort of public square or somewhere outdoors anyway..
I remember asking my mom why the fountains had those words on them and which one I should use..
she just said to use the one that said 'white'..
I also remember that no one seemed to give a shit about it.
The whites used the white fountain..
The blacks used the the colored fountain..
and no one cared.

What makes you think there weren't black people that were more than happy to have their own fuckin fountain?
Because some people want to cry victim now?

Water privilege... we all had it...

Stop living in the past and feeling guilty for shit you had absolutely nothing to do with.
