History

In 1861, the Pere Marquette Railway constructed a line through Clio to Flint (now the CSX Saginaw Subdivision) . The depot in Clio was constructed in 1873 to service the line.[3] The building was used by the railroad until 1960.[4] After its use as a depot was discontinued, it spent some time as a laundromat.[3] The building was purchased by the Clio Area Historic Association in 1977, and was renovated in the 1980s to turn into a museum.

Description

The Clio Depot is a one-story vernacular frame structure clad with clapboard. The building is rectangular and has a gable roof. Decoration is minimal, confined to the pedimented hoods located above the windows and doors. [3]
