Parco and have added greatly to the
appearance of the town in general.
The passenger station is located in
the center of Parco directly opposite
the Parco hotel. From this point a
general survey of Parco can be had
at a glance. The main buildings of
the town and the refinery can be

Spanish type of architecture, a long
low building constructed out of tile
and stucco. The interior of the build

very attractively decorated. In the
west end of the building there is a
large spacious room which will be
used by the express and baggage de-

easily accessible to both employees
and customers. The center of the
building is occupied by the telegraph
and ticket office and the east end of
the building is given to a large wait
ing room, a rest room for the ladies
and a smoking room for h men.

tered and decorated in a dull green
and brown and the ceiling is hand
somely beamed. All the woodwork is
finished in style closely resembling
the "old mission form of decoration
and is admirably suited to the build
