Dismantling the Immigration Station in Marcus, Washington, 1941
TitleDismantling the Immigration Station in Marcus, Washington, 1941
Date1941
NotesCaption included with image: An old land mark (sic) that was razed in Marcus recently was the Immigration Station which was used by the railroad as a railway station since the removal of the regular station to the town of Kettle Falls three months ago. Marcus oldtimers remember boom days for the railroad thirty years ago when the Immigration Service had three and four interpreters, a doctor, and several inspectors to handle the large number of Hindus, Chinese and European immigrants coming into this country from Canada on this line. Caption on verso: US WPA 590
