No. 122 Glass Dome Single Station   (Circa 1905-1923)

Circa 1905-1907 - Earliest variation of this station. The dome has all the early features which include the 32 panes of glass, the dark brown posts and full cherry red girder strip beneath the roof. The 116 station also has all the features of being from 1905 or 1906 with it's plain brown brick work, black etched plate and plain litho base. Note that this example also has plates above the windows as opposed to later examples that have the signs lithographed on.

Circa 1905-1907 - Another variation and another angle of the very first glass dome station.

Circa 1907-08 - Two tone brick work and litho signs.

 

 

Note the green cast windows and the girder railing on the dome support.

Circa 1907-1908 - Early Dome on a somewhat later station, unusual to see silver windows, doors on these stations.

Note fluted streetlight to left - 1922 only

Circa 1908-1910 - This station is later than the one above it, look closely at the different roof with the plain strip holding the two sides together. Changes from the earliest version at the top of this page include multi-colored brick work and the signs over the door are now lithographed, but the most distinguishing characteristic of this station is the dome itself now has 12 panes of glass instead of the previous 32. The example above is light brown and maroon, the one below light green and dark green.

Hard to see the station through all those ugly Knapp cars, but notice how the blue stripe railing on the base matches the blue stripe roof connector, again this is the rare 12 pane glass dome.

Circa 1909-1910 - Although the picture above shows a double dome, it would appear to be of the same vintage as the single dome above it. Look closely this particular version has only 8 glass panes, it would appear that IVES only used the 12 pane design for a year or two.

Circa 1910-1912 - A little bit of everything, early station (pre-1910) with cast iron windows and two-tone green brick litho with an 8 pane dome and double-hex roof (post 1910).  If you look at the back below it has a base with three tan posts, IVES Miniature Railway Lines plates and a half-awning below the dome.

Circa 1912-14 - This one still has the lithographed roof and notice the ticket guy is facing left on this station - where he's facing to the right on the example below - we're not sure when the litho was reversed.

Circa 1920-1923 - Late features all away around - 2 benches, late posts, painted bases, roof and floor.

 

Late with two chimneys?? Date unclear.
