The ATSF depot is vacant and in disrepair, but local preservation groups are working on plans to restore this historic building. It is located at the west end of W. Oklahoma Avenue, west of 1st Street.

This is a long building with a flat roof, with a center section that has a crossed gable roof, with the east gable projecting from the building. The depot was constructed in 1911, and remodeled in 1945 when stucco covering was added. It has been vacant since 2000. Its large window units are all covered with wood.

The website www.abandonedOK.com has a very nice write-up and video on this depot showing many interior photos. (visit link)
