There are a few of these old Santa Fe depots in Arizona and New Mexico, I'm not sure of any other states, but there could be. I don't know of any that look exactly like this one but the one's I've seen do like a bit southwest or Spanish in style, maybe because that's where I've seen them
. The one up in Flagstaff is brick like this one, but is a lot larger. The one in Winslow is basically the same footprint but has Spanish arches and has been stuccoed. I don't know if they were added later on, or they were original to match the La Posada (Harvey House) hotel on the same property.
