Long Description:
"The first railroad station in Livermore was a boxcar. It was replaced by a building in 1891, which burned in 1892. In August 1892 the current depot on L St. was built. The brick chimney collapsed in the 1906 earthquake, and was replaced by a metal one. The station was not used by the railroad after 1961. The building was almost torn down in the early 1970s. It was saved by the Livermore Heritage Guild, which was formed for this purpose. They restored the building in the 1970s, and it is now used by various businesses. The restored building once again has a brick chimney, matching the original." ("http://www.elivermore.com/photos/Hist_lvr_railroad1.htm" target="_blank">visit link)
