I can find very little printed material on this very small depot. I did find this in a book:
On the first day of July, 1863, the Government took possession of the property fronting the river, known as Rawlings Reserve, for a naval station, together with the Mound City Railroad Depot, that stood on the reservation. A lease was given to the Government to this reservation by the city, and the depot that belonged to the Emporium Company was sold to the Government, after which the Mound City Railroad Depot was built on the corner of Main Street and Railroad Avenue where it now stands.
