This
massive five story concrete nearly 700-foot long freight depot was constructed
between 1911 and 1913. It remained in operation until the mid-1970's and has
been vacant since. The building was placed on the National Registry of Historic
Places in 2004 with hope that with the available tax credits the building will
be renovated for some use. This strategy has been successful for some nearby
buildings.
