The Englewood Train Depot


The Englewood train depot is a mission style railroad depot built in 1915 as the stop for the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway Company and the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad. Designed by the Santa Fe Railways Company, it was in use until the late 1970's and then moved, from it's original location at Hampden and Santa Fe to South Galapago and Dartmouth in 1994.

Just a few of these beautiful, filled with history buildings are still standing, after serving as passengers, freight, and other commodities stations along the railroad lines between the late 1800's and most of the twentieth century. This historical building will house now the Living Museum of Letterpress Printing, Typography, Design, Poetry & Art, and we had the privilege of photographing the first meeting of supporters who will bring this endeavor to life; a living community center for letterpress printing and related arts.

Kick off day at the Living Museum of Letterpress
The Antique Photography Studio had the privilege of been invited to the inaugural day at the Living Museum of Letterpress, when this tintype was made. We'll keep supporting all this projects, meant to be enjoyed by communities, enthusiasts, artists and friends.

We do photography crafted by hand, we value the object, we sublime what we, humans can do. We have the patience to meticulously hand process each photograph and we have acquired experience in many related topics as well, for instance, the equipment we use is hand made, most by ourselves.
