Located in downtown Kent, Ohio. The building has three raised towers, is built in brick, and is now a restaurant, Pufferbelly Ltd, and partially used as office space by the Kent Historical Society.
This historical building was founded in 1875, serving as the main train depot within the area. The Atlantic & Great Western Railroad provided the vital link needed to form a grand trunk line extending from New York to St. Louis. Now this historic building is a beautiful restaurant with artifacts from 1875 and later.
