First, from Greenberg's guide to Early American Trains, Chapter on Hafner trains, I saw a picture of this station building and it was credited to made by Bing for Hafner. Ca 1920's . Clearly the same building but the lithography showed a tile or shingle roof and the outline of a small crane to the right of the door.

Don,

this was not made by Bing especially for Hafner. Hafner had sold some regular Bing items. The Hafner No 621 freight station from the 20s is Bing No 10/644 (older Bing No. 10115).

The later Hafner freight station from the 30s had copied only the shape.

There are some differences between Bing and Hafner from the 30s

Bing

roof 5 tabs and slots

tabs outside

short side 2 tabs and slots

different door

The Bing freight station was copied some times. For example Bing in the middle and 2 freight stations made by Brimtoy.

Similar too, the freight station made by Karl Bub.
