Built in 1913, this stucco and brick depot was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. It previously served as the Love County Pioneer Museum, which has since relocated closer to the county courthouse (a few blocks west), leaving the depot empty. The provided link has an interesting blog about the author's recent visit (not QDV's), with a little background about the depot and the town.
