Notes About Existing Stations... Sleepy Eye (C&NW, 1902) - This was the third station built in Sleepy Eye. It was designed by architechts Charles Sumner Frost and his partner (and brother-in-law) Alfred Hoyt Granger. Sleepy Eye (C&NW, 1887) - This was the second station built in Sleepy Eye. The first Winona & St. Peter RR station was built around 1872 when the RR first reached town, and burned down in January, 1887. This was built as a replacement later that same year in June. When the new CNW brick station was built in 1902, this station was relegated to freight-only service. |
