This appears to be a different building than whats seen in other photos we have. I am assuming this was a second depot that replaced the first.
Date unknown.


Behind the depot is Main street. The direction of the photo is north east.

According to research done by the real-estate website Movoto.com Haysville is the 4th “safest place” in Kansas…

The 10,939 folks that live in this little city will surely attest to the fact that this is one safe place.

Like all other spots in our top 10, Haysville had no murders reported in 2012. However, the safety didn’t stop there. Haysville also had the ninth lowest violent crime ranking, with 14 rapes, two robberies, and 27 assaults per 100,000 people.

The property crime here was also very low, with a total of only 293 property crimes per 100,000 people being reported in 2012.

What does all this mean? It means that if you live in Haysville, you have only a 1 in 298 chance of being the victim of a crime.
