When built, it was not only the yard office, but the headquarters of the entire railroad (although as I mentioned, the ownership was out of New York City until sold to the N&W in the 1950s). Only became "yard office" once sold to the N&W/NS.

You can see what a 1000 gallons of water a minute did to the corner of the building as a result of the fire! Thanks for the added info, Zack!
