Chrissy Holden never lived in Whittier, but her father Ronald DeViaene was depot agent until 1959 when he moved his family to Seward. He retired from the ARR in 1977. These photos of the Whittier Depot are the only ones I have ever seen. They also show the orientation to the original Alaska Railroad Dock which burned in 1952. - Commentary courtesy of Pat Durand
