Is the secondary entrance to West Croydon station, on Station Road opposite the bus station, in the original station building?

The Wikipedia entry on West Croydon station does mention that the secondary entrance opened in 2012 and that the existing main station building dates from the 1930s, but it also says the original station building and ticket office on Station Road is still there but has been converted to a shop. Wikipedia isn't always up to date, though.

NLS old OS maps are good for this, especially the largest scales.

The linked map suggests that well before the 1930s changes there were two booking offices, up side was further back from the main road, and the building alongside the down platform, (adjacent to the 2012 entrance you mention), was also shown as containing a booking office. But the up side also includes a refreshment room, so was possibly the more important even then.
