The former depot in 2004

Railroad tracks were removed in 1968, and by 1985 the former depot was a residence. It has gable stickwork in "the Stick Style which was so popular for early western train stations" and broad enclosed eaves perhaps suggestive of Prairie Style influence. The original concrete passenger pad serves as a patio.[2]
