Mission TX
Title:  Mission TX
Description:  Former Mo-Pac Depot; the left portion is the original part while the right side was added when the city remodelled it. Most likely vacated in the early 1980s. This was the smaller baggage office because the larger passenger depot was razed in the late 1950s. This building survived until Mo-Pac eliminatted freight clerks through an automated telephone servive in the late 1970s.
