HISTORIC NAME: O.R. & N. Comany Railroad
BUILT: 1911
The original depot was located about a mile east of the town center. Pasengers debarked from the train and had to be transported by wagon a mile to downtown Pomeroy. In the early 1900's, town people started petitioning the O.R. & N Company for the construction of a new depot in downtown Pomeroy. In 1911, construction began on the new brick depot that was adjacent the track extending down the center of Columbia Street. The depot was sold in the 1980's and now houses a dentist and law office. Most of the original interior details remain.
