Thanks for posting. It looks like it's going to be a lot of work.

At the Illinois Railway Museum's Pullman Library we were able to assist Michael Pannell with identification and the floor plan for this car. Visit that link for the exciting history of this car ordered for a connecting line by the famous Gen'l Granville Dodge. The volunteers here including Bob Webber who was the brains behind our efforts and had put him in touch with an authority on the subject certainly wish Michael continuing community support to make the restoration of this historic piece a reality. - Ted Anderson, curator

Take comfort in that it probably looks much worse than it is - and has a lot in common with the Central Railroad and Banking Co of Georgia office car in Savannah, GA - so you might find some very similar details preserved there.
