There is a plaque on the train depot that is transcribed as follows:
The Canadian Pacific Railway built the Didsbury Train Station in 1902 to provide services to the residents of Didsbury and District. The Mansard roof used in the design is a unique feature. In 1991 the CPR donated the building to the Didsbury Lions Club and with the help of Eldon Foote's generous donation, rotated it 180 degrees and moved it to its present position facing Main Street (20 Street). The renovated and expanded Station is now a designated historical site and is one of many interesting historical buildings in Didsbury. The building known as Eldon Foote Hall houses the Scout and Guide Movement and also provides a popular meeting place for the community.
