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."
