The Norfolk and Western Railway built the Bristol Railroad Station in 1902, to replace an earlier freight depot. The current building has a two-story tower, which is its most distinguishing feature. For most of the 20th Century this stations served the region as both a freight and passenger depot. While the station is no longer in use as a railway station, it remains an important part of Bristol’s landscape and is currently home to a small commercial mall.
