Memphis, Paris, and Gulf Depot

The Memphis, Paris, and Gulf Depot is a historic railroad station on Arkansas Highway 27 in Mineral Springs, Arkansas. It is a modest single-story wood frame structure, with a gable roof. The east elevation has a projecting bay, which housed the telegrapher's office, and a double-width loading entrance. The west side of the building has loading platforms and another double-wide entrance. It was built in 1908 by the Memphis, Paris and Gulf Railroad, a short-lived regional railroad whose objective was to connect Memphis, Tennessee to Paris, Texas, and is the first and only railroad depot to be built in the town.[2]
