Douglas was founded in 1905 as a smelter town, treating the copper ore coming out of nearby Bisbee, Arizona. Douglas was the only town in Arizona that had railroad tracks leaving town in four directions. The El Paso and Southwestern Railroad transported the smelted copper to manufacturers in the east. Its passenger depot, built in 1913, featured a dome topped with stained glass. Passenger service ended in Douglas over fifty years ago, and the depot gradually deteriorated. In order to save it, the city moved its police department headquarters into the building. The former depot has been beautifully restored and still open to the public. I made this abstracted view of the inside of the old depot dome by shooting upwards with a wideangle lens to stress the powerful curves leading the eye towards the stained glass. It was the first picture I’ve ever made from inside of a police headquarters.
