The Boarding House:
The boarding house at the Alpine Station Complex was known for its warm food and hospitality. During its years of operation the house was run by two separate couples, the Mustos and the Waters. Kitty Waters ran the boarding house with her husband Larry beginning around 1908. She became famous on the line for her culinary skills. Every train that came through Alpine would stop here so the passengers and workers could enjoy a hot meal. Downstairs rooms included a kitchen, storeroom, two bedrooms and a large dining room to serve entire passenger cars at a time. Sleeping rooms were located upstairs. It was built in 1906 only to be abandoned by 1910 and completely collapsed in 1959
