Pulled up the picture of the depot in Anderson, SC. I believe it still stands. There is also a nearly identical one in Belton, SC, my home town. My grandfather, James K. Phillips Sr., was sent there by Southern Railway ca 1915 to manage this then-new depot. He brought along his relatively new bride, Ollie, and infant son, my dad. The building still stands, and now is home to the Belton Area Museum and SC Tennis Museum. The renovated structure is named for my 6th grade teacher, Ruth Drake. It is currently managed by Alison Darby, a local lady, who has written a published history of the town. Stop in if you’re ever cruising the upstate around Belton/Anderson/Abbeville. The area drips with history!
